Chapter 220: Being Tricked
Elder Rong Ling’s aura is still rising.
Since he had made this choice, he had thought about any possible consequences he might face. Either he would succeed in forming a pill and become a high and mighty Jindan ancestor, or he would die and become ashes. No matter which of these two results, he would no longer be afraid of the Black Stone Ancestor.
Finally, the third thunder strike came.
Snap!!
Cracks appeared on the formation, and finally it exploded. Elder Rong Ling in midair was hit by the heavenly tribulation for the first time. He took out a black paper umbrella, opened the umbrella and faced the heavenly tribulation. Thunder exploded, and the paper umbrella was only held for a breath before it shattered. The remaining force went through the umbrella handle and hit his body.
The power of the heavenly calamity blasted the man into the ground, creating a deep pit.
The cracks spread, and the appearance of gaps caused the Black Stone City's formation to completely stop functioning.
The Black Stone City's formation exploded and shattered just as everyone had guessed. Explosions occurred in several areas of the city, and the formation base buried underneath was destroyed. Such a big noise immediately caused a riot. What the evil cultivation area lacks the most is desperate people who are not afraid of death, especially some independent cultivators who have no resources to begin with, who took advantage of the chaos to do business without capital. There were also some foundation-building masters mixed in, and it only took a moment to mess up the situation.
"Almost."
Among the five people who were watching the tribulation, two of them flew into the air and turned into a stream of light and flew towards the dojo on the top of Black Stone Mountain. That direction was where the Black Stone Patriarch was in seclusion. These two guys were actually planning to rob the Black Stone Patriarch.
The remaining two people turned to the other two directions. These old demons were all monks hiding in Black Stone City. Now that they got the chance, they immediately thought of the things they usually wanted to rob but didn't dare to.
Like these four people, Chen Luo turned around and rushed towards the Puppet Pavilion.
The last time he came here, he wanted to go in and find some valuable brains, but unfortunately he was blocked outside. Later, he used the identity of Madam Hua to get a lot of corpses, but they were all in the foundation building stage, and there was not a single Jindan corpse. Although Madam Hua told him that there were no Jindan corpses in the Puppet Pavilion, Chen Luo didn't believe it. He would know if there were any valuable things by himself.
Without the restriction of the formation, Chen Luo flew all the way with his sword, and in just a few moments he reached the dark river. On the way he saw many robbers who were taking advantage of the situation to rob, but he didn't care about these people at all, as long as they didn't block his way, everyone would rob their own things.
As soon as he rushed onto the platform, Chen Luo saw a beam of black light rushing towards him. The speed of this beam of black light was extremely fast, and it was too late to dodge it. He could only raise his hand and use the fastest speed to call up the "Demon Bone Array Pattern Jue" to smash the black light head-on.
BANG!!
A circle of ripples spread out, and Chen Luo finally saw clearly what was attacking him. It was actually a pair of black scissors. Under the force of his fist, the scissors flew backwards and crashed into the ground. The black light on the surface suddenly dimmed a lot, and the spirituality was damaged.
"Huh?"
A surprised voice was heard. The person who launched a sneak attack probably didn't expect that Chen Luo could actually block his attack and destroy his magic weapon with his fist.
"Is it you?"
Chen Luo looked at the person who launched a sneak attack from below and recognized him at a glance.
This person was the strange evil cultivator with the aura of Madam White Bone that he saw when he came here last time. Last time when he went to the outer city, he was going to figure out this person, but he unexpectedly encountered the four great calamity cultivators, and then he met Madam Hua.
"Half of that side is yours, and this side is mine."
The strange evil cultivator took back the black scissors on the ground with a single move of his hand. At the same time, he waved his hand to summon five refined corpses to surround him, demonstrating his strength in order to avoid unnecessary fighting.
Now that Black Rock City is in chaos, it is a great opportunity for them to take advantage of the chaos and rob. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is naturally for them to grab resources with all their strength. It would be a waste to use it to fight with others. The previous plot against Chen Luo was just to get rid of a profit-sharing person. Now that Chen Luo has proved his strength, there is naturally no need to fight anymore.
"Are you the Black Zombie Taoist?"
Chen Luo glanced at the corpse beside the other party and suddenly asked.
"It is this poor Taoist."
The Black Zombie Taoist did not hide it, and the aura of perfect foundation building on his body emanated. The three great foundation building masters of Black Stone City, Elder Rong Ling was outside undergoing the tribulation, the Black Zombie Taoist was on his side, and the remaining Demon Seeding Sect Master was probably also taking advantage of the situation. In this situation, unless the Black Stone Patriarch returned and suppressed the whole scene with his strength of forming a pill, no one could stabilize the situation.
After confirming the identity of the Black Zombie Taoist, Chen Luo stopped talking and rushed in quickly according to the assignment just made.
As soon as he entered the door, Chen Luo saw the bald monk who had blocked him before. The curse words on his face were distorted and changed, and he tried to attack.
"you"
Snap!!
Without saying a word, Chen Luo grabbed his neck with one hand and twisted it hard. The spiritual power of the late stage of foundation building swept over and twisted off the man's head in the simplest and crudest way. In the process, he did not forget to put it into the storage bag for preservation, and took away the things on his body at the same time, with extremely skillful movements.
He now has more than a hundred foundation-building brains, and the carrying capacity has reached the upper limit. This brain cannot be collected for the time being, so he puts it in the storage bag first and absorbs it later when the carrying capacity increases.
The black zombie Taoist who went to the other side moved faster. Dozens of iron zombies rushed out of the corpse bags and began to kill. The copper bell in his hand kept shaking. Under the effect of the bell, these iron zombies were extremely ferocious. In just a moment, they slaughtered all the people on the right.
"This method of controlling and refining corpses is much more advanced than that of Brother Mummy." Chen Luo's eyes flickered. His current method of refining corpses was very crude. The only method of raising corpses he knew was what he exchanged with the old Mummy ghost when he was in Mushan City.
As a corpse cultivator at the Qi Refining stage, it is natural that the magic formulas he controls are not very good.
No wonder the corpse refining outside the Yinmulin has not been successful after so long.
Rushing to the innermost part on the left, Chen Luo spread out his sleeves, and nine magic swords unfolded, instantly slaughtering all the cultivators in Black Stone City. Such a big move was naturally seen by the Black Zombie Taoist, and like him, the other party also developed a fear of him.
No one wants to mess with a second-level formation master.
After killing the people, Chen Luo broke open the corpse pit next to him and soon saw more than 20 coffins inside. The coffins were filled with corpses from Black Rock City, which were sold for money. Most of them had been sold, but they were not delivered yet, so they stayed here.
Chen Luo rolled up his sleeves, opened the corpse bag, and put all the more than 20 corpses into his sleeves.
After collecting these corpses, Chen Luo spread his consciousness and began to look for the corpses he wanted. Unfortunately, he couldn't find any after searching around. Maybe it was just like what Madam Hua said, there were indeed no corpses in Black Stone City.
The Black Zombie Taoist over there was also not satisfied. Like Chen Luo, he had only managed to snatch some Iron Corpses of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Iron Corpses of this level would definitely be priceless if they were put outside, but for the two of them, this gain was totally not enough.
Boom
There was another earth-shaking shaking, and suddenly a long laugh came from outside.
"Hahaha"
The laughter was mixed with joy and infinite vitality of heaven and earth. Upon noticing this scene, Chen Luo and the Black Zombie Taoist's faces changed. Without a word, they turned around and fled outside.
"The thunder tribulation has passed, and the golden elixir is complete."
Elder Rong Ling flew up, and the vitality of heaven and earth began to flow into his body crazily. The injuries left by the previous tribulation recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye. The power of the Dan Formation spread out, and in an instant it enveloped the entire Black Stone City. This old guy was going to take advantage of the opportunity of the Dan Formation to plunder the entire Black Stone City. His appetite was bigger than all of Chen Luo and his friends combined.
Circles of heaven and earth's vital energy spread out like waves, but just after flowing through a circle, the vital energy of heaven and earth suddenly stagnated.
The inner demon calamity!
Elder Rong Ling's face changed drastically in the air. He thought that after he killed his inner demon, he would not have to go through the inner demon tribulation again. Now it seems that the heavenly tribulation and the secret technique are completely different.
"How could my escaping technique go wrong?!"
Elder Rong Ling was both shocked and angry. Two hundred years ago, he had obtained a secret technique in a tomb. The secret technique talked about how to avoid the calamity of inner demons.
This secret technique has nine truths and one falsehood. All the cultivation in the foundation-building stage is correct, except for the final part of overcoming the tribulation. Elder Rong Ling has been practicing the secret technique for more than two hundred years. For this secret technique, he hibernated in Black Stone City for more than two hundred years. Until not long ago, when his bloodline was severed, he thought he had met the conditions and successfully avoided the tribulation.
But I never expected that there were fakes among the secret techniques in the tomb!
The ancient monks would leave fake skills in the tomb. Elder Rong Ling was tricked by this skill that contained nine true and one false skills, and it was a life-threatening one.
It’s a pity that the heavenly tribulation didn’t listen to his nonsense. An invisible force emerged and rushed into his brain in an instant.
Amidst Elder Rong Ling's shocked and angry expression, the man fell from the sky and stood alone in the middle of the ruins. The aura of physical and mental demons reverberated around him, and he had completely fallen into the calamity of the inner demons.
The other cultivators quickly dispersed after seeing this scene, and no one dared to approach here. Compared with the heavenly tribulation, the inner demon tribulation was more terrifying. Before forming a pill, no one dared to face their inner demons.
When we live in this world, there are always things we care about.
Such things that one cares about will be infinitely magnified in the Heart Demon Tribulation, so big that one cannot give them up. For example, a certain master in the Immortal Strange Aspirations, because he loves wealth, he has gone through nine lives in the Heart Demon Tribulation, and each life is rich and glorious, either an emperor or a prince, or at the very least, a royal uncle.
Enjoying endless wealth and glory, the master who was narrowed by the inner demon almost couldn't break free, and finally escaped with the help of his friends.
“Is this the inner demon calamity?”
Chen Luo, who had just rushed out of the passage, immediately felt a familiar breath. The Heart Demon Art in his body suddenly became active to the limit, and he seemed to hear some kind of call faintly.
This was the first time that Chen Luo’s real body was so close to the person undergoing the tribulation!
