call out!
Lu Tao left the small world and appeared in the outside world.
This time, Lu Tao did not use the statue of merit, but appeared on the Ascension Pool with his physical body alone.
Buzz!
In an instant, a dense and thick aura of gloom completely enveloped Lu Tao, and a massive amount of death energy and resentment seeped into Lu Tao's body.
*Sizzle!*
A corrosive sound emanated from Lu Tao's skin.
Lu Tao's body withered and lost its vitality quickly under the permeation of death and resentment.
"Not bad. Although it is still corroded, it is not as severe as before."
Lu Tao was quite satisfied with the result.
After his physical body underwent transformation, it became more resistant to the corrosive influence of the gloomy aura, and the damage was not as great.
"Judging from the degree of corrosion, I might be able to withstand it once my physical body reaches the peak of the Divine Lord realm."
Lu Tao smiled slightly.
Afterwards, Lu Tao stopped trying and directly summoned the statue of merit to dispel the resentment and death energy. He then flew out of the Ascension Pool and appeared on the streets of Lingdao City.
"Xiaoming, Xiaotian, come out and collect the divine medicine."
Lu Tao summoned Wu Ming, Xiaotianquan, Chen An, Su Peng, and others, and had them use the Merit God Statue and special storage treasures to collect the many obscure divine medicines in Lingdao City.
These miraculous medicines are all of high quality.
They are at least top-grade divine medicines, and most of them are top-grade divine medicines.
The only regret is that there was no Medicine King.
certainly.
If it is the King of Herbs, the sinister aura it contains must be incredibly terrifying, making it quite difficult to collect.
"Yes, Sect Master!"
The group hurriedly left the small world and traveled around the Spirit City, which spanned hundreds of thousands of miles, collecting divine herbs.
With the statue of the deity in place and the new immortal cultivation technique they practiced, these hidden energies had no effect on them.
The only inconvenience is that their souls dare not look too far, otherwise they will be corroded. They can only use a telescope to observe the location of the divine medicine before picking it.
During the harvesting process, in order to prevent the merit power of the statue from covering the divine medicine and causing it to dissipate, everyone needs to rely on their physical bodies to rush into the gloomy aura and instantly harvest the divine medicine.
that's all.
The group busied themselves throughout Lingdao City.
It took a whole day to collect all the divine herbs in the entire Lingdao City.
During this time, they also found some unusual items.
Those things that, despite being corroded by the gloomy atmosphere, have not completely decayed are relatively few.
also.
They also collected some materials that were tainted by resentment and death, carrying a strong sense of gloom, and handed them over to Lu Tao.
Lu Tao also planned to use these things to refine some items.
After looting Lingdao City, Lu Tao led his disciples to various mountains and forests to collect divine herbs, rotten wood, stones, and materials.
In the end, it took several days to get everything sorted out.
"It's a pity that the vengeful spirits at the Spirit Palace are too strong, otherwise I really wanted to go in and have a look around."
Lu Tao looked in the direction of Lingdao Palace with a slight sense of regret.
Lu Tao dared not be too reckless. Not to mention the Lingdao Palace, he did not even set foot in the mountains and forests near the Lingdao Palace. After searching the other places from a distance, he headed in the opposite direction from the Lingdao Palace.
As they got further and further away from Lingdao City and Lingdao Palace, the resentment and death aura along the way gradually began to fade.
certainly.
This fading is only relative to those two special places, but it is still terrifying.
Lu Tao felt that if it weren't for cultivators practicing sinister techniques entering this place, even a god-king level body wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Even a God-King at the peak of his power probably wouldn't be able to sustain it for long.
No wonder no one knew about the existence of Lingdao Palace and Lingdao City.
"roar!"
Ten thousand miles away from Lingdao City, Lu Tao encountered a vengeful spirit.
This vengeful spirit is extremely powerful, no less so than the one in Lingdao City.
but.
Lu Tao could not sense any consciousness from the soul of this vengeful spirit.
Therefore, the moment it saw Lu Tao, it charged straight at him.
Even though it must have sensed the power of merit, and their auras were incompatible, Lu Tao could not sense any fear from its soul.
Only madness and bloodlust.
It was like a ghost, appearing in front of Lu Tao in a flash.
Facing a vengeful spirit at the level of a god-king, Lu Tao remained calm and directly controlled the statue of merit, directing the power of merit toward the vengeful spirit.
"roar!"
The vengeful spirit roared fiercely.
Under the illumination of the power of merit, the vengeful spirit of the god-king seemed to be corroded all over its body, emitting thick smoke.
Almost instantly, countless holes appeared on its body.
Hundreds of already damaged divine souls became even more broken and shattered.
but.
During this process, its attack also landed in front of Lu Tao.
boom!
Faced with such an attack, Lu Tao did not dodge but directly used his flawless supernatural power to withstand the attack head-on.
With a loud bang.
The weak vengeful spirit's punch landed on Wulou, but it didn't shake Wulou at all, not even causing a tremor.
Before it could attack again, the vengeful spirit was instantly reduced to ashes by the power of merit.
"This soul energy is so pure!"
To Lu Tao's surprise, after the vengeful spirit died, all the dark power on its body was completely dissolved by the power of merit, but a large mass of extremely pure soul energy was left behind.
Lu Tao felt his soul become more active and enhanced simply by being touched, even more so than by the experience pill.
Seeing that the soul energy was about to dissipate, Lu Tao hurriedly put it away in a jade bottle.
Lu Tao put away the jade bottle with satisfaction, then said regretfully, "Unfortunately, under the power of merit, its strength has been greatly reduced, and it cannot detect my strength."
However, Lu Tao soon encountered a second vengeful spirit. This vengeful spirit also possessed the strength of a God-King, but judging from its aura, it should be a relatively weak God-King.
Lu Tao was overjoyed.
He immediately put away the statue of the deity, and charged forward despite the resentment and deathly aura.
"roar!"
A vengeful spirit of god-king level, extremely terrifying.
With just a sharp whistle, an invisible ripple spread towards Lu Tao, and upon contact, Lu Tao couldn't help but shudder.
Then, Lu Tao felt that his soul was about to be kicked out of his sea of souls under the influence of this sound wave.
at the same time.
A violent, bloodthirsty, and insane emotion gradually arose in Lu Tao's soul sea.
"So, the power of rules controlled by vengeful spirits is related to emotions."
Lu Tao stood tall and imposing.
The power of rules is something that ordinary shields and artifacts cannot withstand.
Lu Tao himself possessed divine artifacts for soul defense, as well as powerful secret techniques for soul defense, such as the Soul Bell, Soul Tower, and Soul Ring. However, unfortunately, these techniques were ineffective against the power of rules.
The power of the rules almost completely ignored these defenses and landed on Lu Tao's soul sea.
but.
Faced with such power of rules, Lu Tao was not afraid.
His soul and altar were extremely powerful. In addition, the statue of merit was also sitting on the altar. The moment many emotions arose, they were eliminated by the gentle power of merit.
then.
Lu Tao didn't stop moving; he directly engaged the vengeful spirits in battle.
Bang bang bang!
Besides controlling the power of rules, the vengeful spirits also possessed the martial arts techniques they possessed, unleashing them one after another in a frenzied battle with Lu Tao.
During this time, Lu Tao also discovered that although the vengeful spirit's body resembled a ghost, it was actually extremely powerful.
It can be seen as an alternative physical body.
Furthermore, its physical body is extremely powerful, even stronger than Lu Tao's.
That's not all.
It also controls many of the realms of the gods and spirits in their previous lives, but it cannot merge them, so when it uses them, they are somewhat chaotic.
"Tsk tsk, no wonder the vengeful spirit is stronger than cultivators of the same level, so that's why."
After exchanging blows for only a few breaths, Lu Tao suddenly realized the truth.
The vengeful spirits, fused with countless divine souls, seemed to have their memories also mixed in—no, to be precise, their battle memories, such as martial arts techniques, domains, and rules…
Other memories, it seems, are absent.
Moreover, they showed no fear or apprehension what it meant to back down; they seemed determined to fight Lu Tao to the death.
Bang! Boom! Sizzle!
Lu Tao pushed his strength to the limit, constantly fighting against the vengeful spirits, treating them as sparring partners to hone his combat experience.
certainly.
Lu Tao didn't dare to be careless either.
Faced with such a powerful vengeful spirit, Lu Tao activated all his defensive artifacts and shield abilities to avoid being caught off guard.
that's all.
In his battle against the vengeful spirits, Lu Tao unleashed a variety of sinister supernatural powers and domains to test his strength.
Fifteen minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
The vengeful spirit's aura had diminished by more than half, and Lu Tao was also in bad shape, having suffered serious injuries during the fight.
Other supernatural abilities were relatively harmless, not too serious. The main problem was the power of the rules, which was almost impossible to defend against. This was the main reason Lu Tao was injured.
"That's enough. I have a pretty good idea of my own abilities."
Thinking this, Lu Tao called out Wu Ming, Xiaotianquan, Chen An, and others, and together they captured the vengeful spirit and sealed it into a jade bottle using a secret technique.
Save it for later use.
On the rest of his journey, Lu Tao encountered many more vengeful spirits.
A small number of the vengeful spirits still retained a trace of consciousness. The moment they sensed the power of merit, they were filled with fear and terror, and fled far away, not daring to approach Lu Tao even a little bit.
As for those vengeful spirits devoid of any consciousness, they were sealed and captured alive by Lu Tao and his disciples in conjunction with the statue of merit.
"Huh, the gloomy aura is fading?"
It wasn't until they were tens of millions of miles away from Lingdao City that the resentment and death energy truly faded a lot.
Upon arriving here, Lu Tao tried it out and discovered that, thanks to his own cultivation techniques and physical resistance, he could walk freely without the aid of the Merit Statue.
after.
Lu Tao put away the statue of merit, and he gradually encountered more and more vengeful spirits, all of which possessed the strength of a god-king.
Lu Tao didn't discriminate against these vengeful spirits and captured them all.
Not long after, Lu Tao finally encountered other living beings in the perilous land of celestial change...
