"I don't want to deny it, but if I can't refine that pill, I won't be able to restore my original form. With this little strength, how can I open the illusion of life and death? Do you think I don't want to go out?" Taotie said helplessly.
Mu Hanyan then remembered that while the most advanced exotic or divine beasts could transform into human form and cultivate like humans, they were generally still at their strongest in their original form. If they had just learned to transform into a human form, their strength would be far inferior to their original form. This was clearly the case with the Taotie, and even worse, after transforming into a human form, they couldn't even return to their original form.
Previously, she was wondering why it had such great magical powers to create the illusion of life and death, but its strength was not even as good as hers. Without the protective magic pot, it could only be abused. Now Mu Hanyan finally knew the reason.
"Let's go." Mu Hanyan was too lazy to talk nonsense with her. She took Jiang Qiling and grabbed Gao Weihu and left.
Anyway, I can't rely on this guy anymore, so I have to rely on myself.
"Wait!" Seeing Mu Hanyan leave as soon as she said, Taotie became anxious and stood in front of them.
"After all, he is one of the four ferocious beasts. Do you really want to go back on your word?" Mu Hanyan let go of Jiang Qiling and drew out his sword.
She just found this guy annoying, and if they really got into a fight, she wasn't afraid of him.
"No, I don't want to go back on my word, but you must help me, otherwise once that person succeeds, the entire Holy Continent will be destroyed." Taotie also knew that he actually had no way to deal with Mu Hanyan, so he spread his hands and said sincerely.
"Who is that person?" Mu Hanyan stopped and asked in confusion.
"His name is Zhan Yuan, and he comes from another dimension. Even if I tell you, you won't know what he means. Anyway, the reason why I ended up in this situation is related to him. If..." Taotie said anxiously.
"You mean Zhan Yuan!" Mu Hanyan suddenly stopped and looked at Taotie in surprise.
"You also know Zhan Yuan?" Taotie also looked surprised.
"I saw him and fought with him when I came here." Mu Hanyan said solemnly.
"You've fought him!" Taotie stared at Mu Hanyan with wide eyes, and suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahahaha, with your strength, you didn't die after fighting him. It seems that his strength has been greatly reduced. Don't be afraid of him, don't be afraid of him."
"Is your strength before entering the illusion of life and death the same as it is now?" Mu Hanyan said unhappily.
You have to know that when she fought with Zhan Yuan, the sword of Eight Desolations Divine Meteorite, which was a perfect fusion of energy and spiritual power and she used all her strength, was actually comparable to a sword saint or a soul priest, but she still failed to kill Zhan Yuan. Even if you put aside the powerful defense of the magic dragon Bafeng, his strength was above that of the sword saint and the soul priest, and was definitely not comparable to the Taotie in front of him. I really don't know what he was so proud of.
Of course, Taotie’s true strength is probably not that simple, but based on Mu Hanyan’s understanding of the other ferocious beasts, no matter how strong it is, it will not be much stronger than the Sword Saint.
After all, the Holy Continent was divided into two, and the laws of heaven and earth were incomplete compared to the era when they were at their peak. In addition, they had paid various prices to survive to this day, and they no longer had the strongest strength they had before. Facing Zhan Yuan and Ba Feng, they had no chance of winning at all.
"Uh." Taotie touched his head and smiled awkwardly. He also realized that with his current strength, he really had no reason to be proud of facing Zhan Yuan.
"If I return to my original form, I may not be his match." Despite this, the guy still muttered stubbornly.
"How do you know Zhan Yuan?" Mu Hanyan didn't bother to pay attention to him and continued to ask.
She finally realized that this Taotie was not only a foodie, but also a boaster.
"More than just knowing him, I would still recognize him even if he turned into ashes!" Taotie said gritting his teeth.
Without waiting for Mu Hanyan to ask, he continued, "A million years ago, a group of powerful warriors from the Divine Martial Realm suddenly appeared on the Sacred Continent, intending to destroy the entire continent. Some powerful warriors who claimed to be the guardians of the gods also suddenly appeared and fought with them for their lives. In order to protect our homeland, our beast tribe also joined them.
Afterwards, the Divine Guardians formed a massive formation, slaying all the Divine Martial Realm warriors. From then on, the Divine Continent was split into two: the Divine Continent and the Holy Court Continent. The Blackwood Prison was the border between the two continents. Of course, it wasn't called the Blackwood Prison back then, but I can't remember what it was called, but it was definitely this place.
After the war, the environment of the Continent of Gods became extremely harsh. The temple relied on powerful formations to create a barrier and a place to survive. We beasts do not have such ability. We can only rely on our strong bodies to retreat into the depths of the wilderness and survive. But that is not a long-term solution. After all, no matter how powerful the beasts are, they can hardly reproduce under the strong north wind in the depths of the wilderness.
Seeing that the once powerful beast tribe was gradually declining, the remaining Phoenix tribe could not bear to see the beast tribe die out like this, so they took us into the Black Wood Prison, using the supreme magical powers of the Phoenix tribe to balance the two major laws, and with the powerful vitality of the Phoenix Wutong, they transformed the Black Wood Prison.
After tens of thousands of years of effort, the two laws of the Blackwood Prison have become mutually restrained. While it's far inferior to the Divine Continent before its rupture, it still allows our Beastmen to thrive and thrive, preventing extinction. It was during these tens of thousands of years that I advanced to a new level of cultivation, breaking through the limits of the Beastmen and transforming into a human form. I then practiced human techniques and various uncanny arts, comprehending this illusion of life and death.
Don't think this illusion of life and death is simple. Although humans claim to be the supreme beings, and the various skills and unique techniques honed by the laws of heaven and earth are infinitely profound and far beyond the reach of our beastmen, have you ever heard of anyone comprehending the illusion of life and death? Even those self-proclaimed divine beasts don't have this ability. Only I, the Great Taotie, possess such talent, such strength, such understanding, such opportunity, such... "
Mu Hanyan rolled her eyes. She didn't know that the Black Wood Prison had such an origin. It turned out that the checks and balances between the two laws were all due to the efforts of the Phoenix Clan. She was listening attentively, but who knew that this guy was blowing it out again, calling him the Great Taotie, and even the divine beasts were trampled under his feet.
"Well, you are worthy of being Lord Taotie, one of the four ferocious beasts in the legend. Your talent, understanding, opportunity and strength are truly unprecedented and terrifying. So what happened next?" Seeing that this guy was so excited when he started to brag, and no one knew when he would stop sighing to himself, Mu Hanyan quickly interrupted him and asked, complimenting him by the way.
"You really have some knowledge. It's no exaggeration to say that a genius like me is unprecedented and unparalleled." Taotie smiled brightly after being praised by Mu Hanyan. His face full of flesh looked like a blooming peach blossom, and his back straightened a lot.
