Jiang Li was completely unable to stabilize his body and was tossed around by the current.
He wanted to throw out the Dragon Prison Chain again, and with the help of the Immortal Slaying Sword, his accuracy was still acceptable.
However, under the violent impact of the water flow, the speed was seriously affected.
Soon, the golem broke free from the tree. Because its speed was so fast, it was willing to tear off large pieces of bark.
The main body of the Nine Netherwood, the other half of the statue, glanced at Jiang Li, then swung its roots like a squid, pushing its huge body downwards.
Don't be fooled by its huge size, its speed is not slow at all.
Jiang Li burst out a large amount of spiritual energy, which pushed away all the surrounding river water. He finally managed to stabilize his body in this way in the swirling river water.
He was just about to rush up again and add fuel to the fire.
But a dozen puppets rushed up again and entangled him tightly.
Nine ghost lanterns with cold flames appeared behind him, circling around him and setting all the puppets on fire. It wouldn't take long before all the souls in their bodies were burned out.
But there were too many puppets, they were not afraid of death at all, and they rushed forward one after another. Groups of them rushed over, surrounding Jiang Li so that he could not move at all.
It took him a lot of time, and he finally broke free from the restraints by bursting into flames, and threw the falling corpses into the burial coffin.
Jiang Li looked up again, and saw that most of the body of the Nine Nether Wood had already sunk under the riverbed.
Once it enters that passage that leads to nowhere, it will be difficult to find it again.
"Jiang Li, what are you doing? Are you looking for death?"
At this time, the pig-riding ancestor of the Sutra Valley broke through the water layer and the obstruction of a large number of tree roots, appeared beside Jiang Li, and pulled him to retreat to a distance.
Looking at his tattered clothes, you can tell that he paid a heavy price to get here.
"Master, wait! That thing is trying to escape! I have a way to deal with it! Stop it!"
Jiang Li hurriedly stopped him and pulled the old ancestor to look at the turbid water over there.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How can you possibly do that... Wait, this guy is really going to run away!"
"When did you learn this skill?"
From a normal person's perspective, a monster that can only be defeated by several gods working together, what can you do as a foundation-building cultivator even if your strength is comparable to that of a golden elixir?
But with just a glance, he also noticed the strangeness of the Nine Nether Wood, and the reversed trunk of the statue surprised him.
He was also shocked by the giant tree that was fleeing in panic, and the golem that had fallen from the tree and was half wrapped in black flames.
What exactly is that black flame that burns the Nine Netherwood in endless pain? Looking at that black, one can feel a slight pain coming from the soul.
The damage caused by the flames to the Jiuyou Wood was obviously far greater than the total damage they had just caused.
No matter how talented Jiang Li was before, he was still far inferior to them, so this group of top cultivators didn't have the heart to ask him about it.
But today, Jiang Li, relying on his foundation-building body, has accomplished something that none of them, the group of gods, have been able to do. If he were a normal person, he would also want to understand the reason behind this.
"That flame... Never mind. Now is not the time! Let's stop it!"
Now is definitely not the time.
If he could hit that strange tree again, it looked like it might really burn him to death.
Above the river, several top cultivators suddenly felt the pressure in their hands greatly reduced, and also discovered the abnormality of this demon tree.
The Jiuyou Wood, which had been growing and expanding with a strong desire to attack, suddenly began to shrink and sink to the bottom of the water.
There was no sign of decline before, so why did it suddenly start to shrink? Is there some conspiracy? "What's going on with this monster?"
"Should we stop them?"
The top monks looked at each other.
This tree demon was obviously quite intelligent, and they had suffered a lot just now. Now they didn't dare to get too close to it, for fear that the tree demon wanted to lure them into a trap.
"Stop it, don't let it run away!"
"Jiang Li has a way to deal with it!"
The ancestor surnamed Zhu turned around and rushed out of the water, actually risking his own life, and grabbed a main root of the Nine Nether Wood and dragged it upwards.
At this time, Jiuyoumu was in a hurry to escape, but suddenly found something holding it back. Immediately, more than a dozen tree roots wrapped around it, as if to crush this powerful ant into pieces.
But the nine ghost lanterns appeared again, and with just a light touch, they were all ignited.
The dozen or so burning tree roots twisted and jumped wildly like live fish that had come ashore.
Soon it fell off the trunk and flew away.
"Are you serious? Hiss, what an amazing black flame!"
"Hurry up! Don't let this tree demon get away!"
The top cultivators from the other three sects, upon seeing Jiang Li's miraculous skills, immediately gained confidence, and without giving it much thought, they followed the ancestor surnamed Zhu and started pulling up the tree roots backwards.
The Jiuyou Wood wanted to attack again, but Jiang Li's cold flame took over, and the Jiuyou Wood had no temper at all.
Being pulled by so many top monks, the sinking speed suddenly slowed down. The roots were burned one by one, and soon they became sparse from the original dense.
Huh? Is this the Mu family's flying boat? As the tree roots continued to fall off, Jiang Li found a tattered peach wood flying boat in a corner.
A closer look revealed that there was actually a thin film on the hull, maintaining the interior. The Mu family cultivators inside were not completely dead yet.
After thinking about it, Jiang Li decided that he might still need them, so he grabbed the flying boat and pulled it hard backwards.
Jiang Li's strength is so great that it is not difficult for him to push a flying boat that has lost its power.
They were already underwater. Although the peach wood flying boat was already broken and unusable, it still floated towards the surface under the effect of buoyancy.
Ignore them for the time being, with the help of top cultivators, Jiang Li finally approached the huge Nine Nether Tree again.
Using the old method, he used the fuel of five hundred ghost soldiers to smear the Dragon Prison Lock, then he swung the flying sword chain towards another statue of Jiuyou Wood.
As long as both statues are destroyed, this Nine Netherwood will become an empty shell and will no longer pose a threat.
Then, the world spun around! This was not an adjective, but a visual and auditory sense of direction. In all his senses, up became down, left became right, front became back, and everything was completely opposite to normal.
The most terrifying thing is that this effect not only affects the senses of the monks, but it is more like deceiving this space! Within the range of the energy, the water in the Mazu River is like a basin of upside-down sewage. I don't know how many tons of river water are splashed into the sky, and the corpses lying in the underwater cemetery for who knows how many years have escaped the gravity and flew freely upwards.
In just two breaths, the river water around them had been completely cleared.
In this extremely confused state of mind, Jiang Li was unable to control the flying sword smoothly. He could make it move forward and backward, left and right, and it flew back and forth without knowing where it was going. Not to mention hitting the target, it was already good enough if it didn't accidentally hurt its own people.
Within the coverage of this space, everything seemed to be upside down. The only thing that was straightened out was the inverted sacred tree, the Nine Netherwood.
This situation also occurred to the top monks.
Even the most powerful Divine Transformation cultivator in Dachong Mountain was not immune to this influence. For a time he could only fight against himself and had no ability to stop the giant tree's actions.
They were also thrown away by the roots of the Nine Nether Wood and crashed into the mountains not far away, causing them to vomit blood and get injured.
"This is... the Nine Netherworld Daoist Scripture, the Beiyin Mountain Chapter?"
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
Jiang Li felt that kind of upside-down feeling, but suddenly he remembered one of the exercises he had practiced.
Jiang Li practiced the Nine Nether Dao Scripture. However, this kind of life-defining skills passed down by powerful people usually have no fixed number.
In addition to the Taoist scriptures bestowed by Heaven at the beginning as the spiritual root of heaven and earth, everything that the Nine Nether Wood experiences and feels during its growth and cultivation will also be recorded therein.
For example, according to the legend, the Taoist Hongjun gave three lectures on Huangting, and each time he talked about something completely different. Every time he gave a lecture, it was his own new realization, which could broaden the upper limit of the strength of the entire prehistoric world.
This Nine Netherwood is naturally far inferior to the Dao Ancestor, but all of its insights are also supreme secret methods for the Muyin cultivators.
This Beiyin Mountain is none other than the place where the Jiuyou Wood was first born.
The unfortunate Nine Netherwood spiritual root, before it was forcibly "born" by some powerful being and then transplanted to the underworld to build the underworld, actually lived on the Shady Mountain where everything was upside down.
This Beiyin Mountain is convex and concave in shape, and more rugged. It is as steep as the Shu Mountains and as high as Luyan. It is not a famous mountain in the world of the living, but a dangerous place in the shade.
There are ghosts and monsters hiding in the thorn bushes, and evil spirits hiding in the cliffs. No beasts or birds are calling, but only ghosts and monsters are walking around.
Here, there is no grass on the mountains, no peaks that reach the sky, no visitors on the ridges, no clouds in the caves, no water flowing in the streams. The wind is howling, and the black fog is everywhere. There is no scenery to be seen anywhere, and everything around is desolate.
The current scene is clearly the giant Nine Netherwood, which temporarily covers part of the rules of the Beiyin Mountain Chapter that it has comprehended here.
How could the cultivators who had always lived in the Kyushu Continent adapt to such a strange and inverted rule? They were tormented by this and were in a state of utter humiliation.
"Run! No! Down!"
Not only did Jiang Li speak in completely reversed order, he also shot out the Immortal-Slaying Flying Sword forward, but the sword pierced through his body and shot straight backwards.
Fortunately, this flying sword can enter the body and hide the soul, so this attack cannot hurt him.
But now, it has become extremely difficult for him to attack the opponent.
If it weren't for his Ghost Lantern Cold Flame, which could protect him both clockwise and counterclockwise, Jiang Li believed that the other party would definitely crush him to death first.
In the end, Jiang Li could only watch the overturned giant tree, dive into the exposed hole in the ground, and walk away.
Only the Nine Nether Demon Statue, still engulfed in the black flames, and the fallen roots that were also burning all over the ground were left.
In the end, it failed.
He couldn't help but sigh. Those bastards from the Mu family had alerted the enemy and destroyed the ecological environment of the ghost lantern, causing the Nine Netherwood to be born prematurely.
His cultivation was still shallow and he had not made full preparations, which allowed the Nine Nether Wood to escape.
If Jiang Li could wait until he reached the Golden Core stage before exploring this underwater cemetery, the results would be very different.
Damn the Mu family cultivators! In addition, the Nine Netherwood has already drilled into the cave and disappeared without a trace. Why is it that this shady area still cannot dissipate for so long?
How could this domain last so long? Or was it that the fallen Nine Nether Demon Statue was used as the final core to cast this domain, and it could not unlock this domain until its energy was exhausted and burned out.
But given their current situation, how to leave this area is a big problem.
Wait, I can't adapt to this upside-down shady world yet, but there are people who can.
Fortunately, the burial coffin was right next to him.
As the clone of Jiuyou who is also the Jiuyou Wood, he should not be afraid of this kind of reversal.
Mr. Qingshan, who was lying seriously injured in the distance, closed his eyes and his consciousness returned to his body in the coffin.
The coffin lid opened automatically and four roots grew out, supporting the ground below. Relying on these roots as hands and feet, Jiang Li could finally move normally.
Using the roots to retrieve Qinglian Jushi and reattach it to his body, Jiang Li relaxed and did not move. Only relying on the wooden armor and roots on his body, he was able to move according to his own wishes.
"Elders and guardians, please do not resist. I will escort you out."
Many top monks were stumbling and trying hard to stand up, but it would take them a while to adapt to this kind of upside down situation.
They were caught and sent out of the shadowy territory one by one. In the last attack, they were caught completely unprepared and were attacked at that level, causing them to be seriously injured.
Without even having time to say a word, he immediately sat cross-legged and regulated his breathing. There was no reaction at all.
Jiang Li himself was also covered in injuries. It took him more than a minute to get rid of all the negative states. He slowly recovered by relying on the many benefits on his body.
He became stronger too fast, and his recovery state is now unable to keep up with the current battle. I will have to update it another day.
After a long time, the Nine Nether Demon Statue, which was originally as huge as a mountain, gradually shrank under the burning of the cold flame of the ghost lantern, and finally became the size of a palm.
Jiang Li used a long-range move and it fell into his hands.
Only at this moment did the boundary invisible to the naked eye slowly disappear.
The water flowed back to the sky, and it was unknown how high the river was, along with countless corpses, before it fell back to the ground.
The strange black rain of corpses fell on this devastated land, as if the mountains and rivers were crying in pain. . . .
