Chapter 266: Disagreement
Fang Zhixing asked in surprise: "Why, do you know her?"
Ning Yuesu was in doubt and observed the woman's face carefully. She said slowly, "I have seen the portrait of the ancestor before. He looks exactly like this woman!"
Fang Zhixing was startled and asked hurriedly, "Where is your ancestor buried?"
Ning Yuesu replied: "Master mentioned that when the master was at the peak of his life, he suddenly passed the throne to her, and then he traveled around the world and disappeared."
Fang Zhixing raised his eyebrows and said thoughtfully: "Then this woman may really be your ancestor."
Ning Yuesu thought the same thing. She counted with her fingers and said thoughtfully, "If she is the founder, she must be at least four hundred years old now."
The longest lifespan in the Jiuniu Realm can be up to two hundred years.
Then, it is absolutely possible that the master of the Nine Ox Realm of the previous generation has lived to this day and is over four hundred years old.
Fang Zhixing held the lantern and walked around the stone platform.
It’s a pity that the ground was covered with blood and flesh, covering up everything.
He found nothing to identify the woman.
At this time, I heard a crawling sound.
It's like someone is standing behind you, smacking his lips constantly.
Fang Zhixing did not hesitate, lit a fire stick and jumped up high.
Whoosh~ The fire lit up, illuminating the hall.
Fang Zhixing turned his head and saw a meat bag that was rapidly swelling up about three feet away.
In an instant, the meat bun rose up and condensed into a human figure.
Another blood corpse! This blood corpse was tall and burly, almost nine meters tall, with a huge elephant head and two tusks protruding into the sky.
"Isn't this the white elephant form of the Gongxi clan?"
Fang Zhixing's eyes flashed. He had fought with Gong Xixiong and others before, and was familiar with the demon-transforming aura of "White Elephant Turning the Sky".
The bloody corpse in front of him must have practiced this magical skill of transforming into a demon.
Then, he discovered that the blood corpse had something in its hand, which was a bronze spear.
Fang Zhixing narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a low voice: "Are the people of the Gongxi clan proficient in spearmanship?"
Ning Yuesu thought about it and shook her head: "Probably not, at least I've never heard of it."
After a pause, she added: "People who are good at using lances often have a background in wolf cavalry."
Before he finished speaking, the bloody elephant-headed corpse slightly bent its knees, pointed its spear backwards, and made a spear-dragging gesture.
When Fang Zhixing saw this, his whole body suddenly swelled up and released ten blood-colored tentacles.
Almost at the same time, Ning Yuesu's delicate body trembled and she attacked fiercely.
The evil cone shone brightly, flew out, drew an arc, and suddenly landed at the feet of the elephant-headed blood corpse.
A terrifying chill suddenly broke out, and ice rose from the ground, spreading upwards along the feet of the elephant-headed blood corpse.
The bloody elephant-headed corpse suddenly swung its spear, cutting off its legs, and its upper body immediately flew to the side.
As it moved, the broken legs kept squirming, and new legs grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The bloody elephant-headed corpse fell lightly to the ground, but the next moment, ten bloody tentacles came rushing towards it.
The space was suddenly filled with a violent and explosive force that was so powerful that it destroyed everything.
The bloody elephant-headed corpse suddenly raised his head, and just as he was about to raise the bronze broadsword, his body twisted violently and exploded.
When~ the bronze spear flew out of his hand, spun a few times, and stuck diagonally into the ground.
The tip of the gun pierced through the flesh and blood, making a crisp impact sound.
Fang Zhixing was delighted. He grabbed the bronze spear, held it in his hand, and waved it casually a few times, roaring like a tiger.
This spear is obviously a fourth-level weapon.
"Huh~"
Suddenly, in the dead silence, a slight sigh was heard.
Fang Zhixing and Ning Yuesu looked at each other, then turned their heads at the same time, their eyes falling on the stone platform.
This was a shocking sight. The head of the woman on the stone platform was tilted! Originally her face was facing upwards, but now it was turned to the right.
"Was it hit by the aftermath of the battle?"
Ning Yuesu frowned slightly, raised her hand, stretched out a finger, and touched the woman's cheek.
The tentacles are soft and the skin is very elastic.
The next moment, the woman suddenly opened her eyes.
"this……"
Ning Yuesu immediately took a step back, raised the Sha Yin Cone, and held it to her chest.
Fang Zhixing reacted faster. He grasped the bronze spear with his bloody tentacle, moved it to the top of the woman's head, and aimed.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
The woman suddenly coughed, raised her eyelids a few times, and slowly opened them.
The candlelight seemed to irritate her eye membranes, and she couldn't help but squint slightly.
After a while, she gradually adapted to the light, raised her head with an effort, and glanced at Ning Yuesu and Fang Zhixing.
“You, you guys…”
She opened her mouth and started to speak, but her tongue was so stiff that her words were unclear.
Ning Yuesu responded: "Who are you?"
The woman's eyes flickered, and human emotions appeared on her face. She replied, "I, I am..."
She tried several times and was finally able to express herself fluently.
"I am Ning Chaohong, the eleventh generation leader of the Jiyin Sect."
Ning Yuesu's face changed drastically, and she exclaimed, "Grandmaster, is it really you?"
"Who are you?"
Ning Chaohong widened her eyes slightly.
Suddenly, her eyes fell on the Sha Yin Cone and she blurted out, "Sha Yin Cone!"
Ning Yuesu nodded and said, "I am Ning Daozhi's disciple and the thirteenth generation sect leader."
"The thirteenth generation?!"
Ning Chaohong's face changed drastically, he was extremely shocked and asked, "How many years have I been away from Jiyin Sect?"
Ning Yuesu replied: "At least two hundred and thirty years!"
This answer made Ning Chaohong fall into complete silence.
She stretched her head to look at her lower body, and her expression quickly turned extremely ugly.
A look of extreme despair crept onto her face.
After a moment, Ning Chaohong calmed down and suddenly said in a hurry: "Yuesu, right? Why are you here? It's dangerous here, leave!"
Ning Yuesu asked: "Ancestor, what exactly is this place, and what exactly have you experienced?"
Ning Chaohong sighed, remained silent for a moment, and said helplessly: "I don't know where this place is. My friend and I passed through the restricted area door and came here.
After that, we encountered a series of flesh and blood monsters and fought with them non-stop.
In the end, my friend died of exhaustion, and I was seriously injured and passed out on this stone platform.
I didn’t expect to see you when I woke up.”
Ning Yuesu couldn't help but hold her breath, her face full of disbelief.
It is incredible that the founder slept for more than two hundred years.
Ning Yuesu asked: "Ancestor, can you still stand up? How can I save you?"
Ning Chaohong laughed miserably and said in despair, "It's too late. My body has been assimilated by these wriggling flesh and blood. Now, except for my head, my entire body has turned into flesh and blood tissue."
“…”
Ning Yuesu couldn't help but feel sad and grief-stricken.
At this time, Ning Chaohong turned his gaze and glanced at Fang Zhixing. Suddenly he saw the bronze spear and a look of sadness appeared on his face.
"That is the weapon of my friend Gong Xihao, the 'Jinghong Spear'. He was once the deputy general of the Wolf Cavalry and had a bright future.
Alas, just because I needed a strong companion, I encouraged him to follow me into the restricted area gate, which eventually killed him. "
Fang Zhixing thought to himself, "As expected," he said, "Senior, have you found anything here?"
Ning Chaohong twisted her neck and leaned towards the side of the hall, and replied, "There are three statues over there. I didn't have a chance to take a closer look before I passed out. You can go and take a look. Maybe you will gain something."
Fang Zhixing and Ning Yuesu walked over immediately.
As the firelight illuminated the front, three bulging lumps of flesh vaguely emerged under the circular wall.
Upon seeing this, Fang Zhixing swung his Jinghong Spear three times.
Swish, swish, swish~ Three cracks appeared and the flesh was peeled off!
Immediately, three tall statues appeared.
Fang Zhixing glanced over quickly.
The first statue looks very familiar. It is a robot with a complete mecha appearance.
The second statue is a ferocious monster with fangs, tentacles, scales, tail, wings, etc.
The third statue is of a normal human being, standing tall and majestic.
"What do these three statues represent?" Ning Yuesu asked in confusion.
Fang Zhixing observed for a while, then wielded the Jinghong Spear again to split open the base underneath the stone statue.
Suddenly, three bases with completely different styles appeared.
The base of the mecha is square and very regular.
The side facing outwards is engraved with words that read:
Flesh and blood are weak, but machines ascend!
Fang Zhixing raised his eyebrows and looked at the base of the monster statue.
The base is very netherworldly, made from human skulls and ribs.
There are also words carved on the bones:
Infinite reproduction, the body becomes holy! Fang Zhixing thought for a moment and looked at the base of the third human stone statue.
It was an exquisite lotus pedestal, majestic and ethereal.
The inscribed text reads:
Matter is weak, but the gods are eternal! "The gods?!"
Fang Zhixing stared at the human stone statue on the lotus pedestal, and then he realized that it represented a celestial being! Mecha, monster, celestial being! Fang Zhixing couldn't understand the meaning of these three statues for a while.
However, he soon remembered that Ji Xiangjun mentioned that there are three paths to advance to the Hundred Bulls Realm.
Could it be that these three stone statues...
Just at this moment, Ning Yuesu walked up to the mecha statue and looked at it curiously.
She had never seen sculptures of this style before; it was so strange and so new.
As I looked at it, I couldn't help but raise my hand and touch it.
Buzz~ Suddenly, the mecha stone statue vibrated, and a faint light appeared on its surface.
Ning Yuesu was startled and pulled Fang Zhixing back a few steps.
The two then saw that criss-crossing rays of light appeared on the surface of the mecha statue, resembling the design drawings of an electronic chip.
Finally, all the light comes together in the head.
The eyes of the mecha stone statue suddenly lit up, and two beams of light burst out, shining on Ning Yuesu.
The light moved up and down, from head to toe, as if scanning Ning Yuesu's entire body.
The next moment, a line of text appeared at the bottom of the base.
Physical strength: Peak of the Ninth Bull Realm Mechanical Ascension: High degree of integration, can be transformed into ice type
Ning Yuesu was surprised when she saw this: "How does the stone statue know my cultivation level?"
Fang Zhixing remained silent for a moment, then reached out and touched the stone statue.
Two beams of light then shone on his body, scanning back and forth twice.
New words appeared on the base:
Physical strength: The limit of the Nine Ox Realm Mechanical Ascension: The degree of integration is extremely high, and platinum conversion can be performed Judging from the results alone, the mecha statue accurately judged that Fang Zhixing was far better than Ning Yuesu.
Fang Zhixing seemed to be thinking about something. He walked to the monster statue and touched it.
Buzz~ The monster stone statue also vibrated, and scarlet light began to burst out from its surface.
After a while, a short line of text appeared on the base.
Holy body: higher qualifications
Ning Yuesu then reached out and touched the monster statue.
She looked down at the base, and the words displayed were:
"Sanctification of the body: a weak constitution disqualifies one."
Ning Yuesu was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Well, it seems that I am not qualified to become a saint in the flesh."
Fang Zhixing responded: "These three stone statues should be some kind of treasure for testing personal talent."
The two of them quickly came to the stone statue of the celestial being.
Ning Yuesu touched it first.
Buzz! The stone statue of the celestial being suddenly shook a few times, and a brilliant white light burst out, carrying a sacred meaning.
A line of words appeared on the lotus base:
Heavenly potential: Excellent
Ning Yuesu's eyes lit up and she asked in surprise: "Could I also become the legendary Heavenly being?"
Fang Zhixing nodded and said, "Ji Xiangjun said that celestial beings are transformed from humans. You and I should both have a chance."
He placed his hand on the stone statue of the celestial being.
The evaluation given by the lotus pedestal is: excellent.
In this round, the two were evenly matched and the game ended in a tie.
Fang Zhixing pondered and said, "The three stone statues have tested our qualifications. What's next?"
Before Fang Zhixing could figure out what was going on, a shrill scream suddenly came from a distance.
Ning Yuesu turned her head and exclaimed: "Oh no, it's the Grandmaster!"
She and Fang Zhixing ran over.
In the candlelight, Ning Chaohong shook his head and struggled violently.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The flesh and blood squirmed, climbing up along her neck and covering her face little by little.
By the time Fang Zhixing arrived at the stone platform, most of Ning Chaohong's face had been eroded by flesh and blood.
"It hurts, kill me!"
"quick!"
Ning Chaohong screamed miserably.
Fang Zhixing's face darkened. He raised his Jinghong Spear and pointed it forward.
Bang! Ning Chaohong's head exploded and shattered into pieces.
“Ancestor!”
Ning Yuesu let out a cry of grief and tears welled up in her eyes.
Fang Zhixing's eyes suddenly flashed and he discovered something.
He raised the Jinghong Spear and slashed it back and forth a few times.
In an instant, the flesh and blood covering the stone platform broke into pieces and quickly peeled off.
The stone platform revealed the lineup.
It looks more like an operating table than a stone table.
Fang Zhixing saw three images inlaid on the top of the stone platform, corresponding to mecha, monster and celestial being respectively.
These three images are raised, and appear to be some kind of buttons that can be pressed to trigger something.
“Could this be…”
Fang Zhixing's imagination ran wild, and a bold guess emerged in his mind.
This might be the laboratory of some advanced civilization!
"Could it be that the celestial beings were not cultivated, but were manufactured, just like mechas?"
Fang Zhixing was deeply shocked by this idea.
This almost overturned his entire cognition!
Just as I thought of this, I heard a crawling sound in my ears.
Fang Zhixing then lit a fire bullet and shot it towards the dome.
The fire suddenly lit up, illuminating the hall.
Looking around, there were lumps of flesh bulging everywhere in the hall, condensing into bloody corpses.
"How come thirteen bloody corpses suddenly appeared..."
Fang Zhixing felt a chill in his heart, as if they had triggered some mechanism at some point.
"We have to leave."
Fang Zhixing decisively chose to retreat.
"Okay!" Ning Yuesu calmed down and ran out.
However, before the two of them ran to the gate, they saw a bloody corpse with a bull's head rushing in.
Behind the bull-headed bloody corpse, there are more bloody corpses.
Those bloody corpses looked very familiar, clearly the ones they had killed before.
Seeing this, the two had to retreat, gather their strength, and start fighting.
They had encountered the blood corpses one after another before, and it was not too difficult for them to kill them together.
But now it’s different. They are besieged by more than a dozen blood zombies and the pressure is suddenly rising.
A bloody corpse with long hair rushed over. It had a curvy figure and it was obviously a woman.
Her body trembled, and a huge chill suddenly hit her, as fast as thunder.
Fang Zhixing only felt his lower body getting cold and his feet were frozen by the ice.
"Ning Chaohong?!"
Fang Zhixing recognized it at a glance. The long-haired bloody corpse was clearly Ning Chaohong who had just died.
She also turned into a bloody corpse! Fang Zhixing's body shook, and the ice broke.
He swung the Jinghong Spear at the long-haired bloody corpse, and it pierced through her chest in the air.
Explosive killing force poured into her body.
Bang~ The long-haired bloody corpse exploded all over.
Fang Zhixing took a deep breath. It seemed like he had killed the enemy with one strike, which was quite easy, but in fact, it consumed a lot of physical energy.
He still felt very tired, and Ning Yuesu was even more tired, with her physical energy being consumed rapidly.
"I can't bear it anymore. I have to reset my body."
Fang Zhixing glanced at his bag and an idea flashed through his mind.
Suddenly, his whole body trembled, and his physical strength instantly recovered to its peak state.
Fang Zhixing grinned grimly and frantically killed the blood corpses around him.
“So strong!”
Ning Yuesu's face was full of fatigue, and she was deeply shocked by Fang Zhixing's tenacious fighting spirit.
Fang Zhixing shouted, "Take a rest first."
Ning Yuesu had indeed reached her limit. She looked around, tiptoed, jumped onto the stone platform, sat cross-legged and began to regulate her breathing.
"kill!"
Fang Zhixing becomes more and more courageous and unstoppable as the battle goes on.
The only pity is that his strength has reached the limit of 100 Newtons.
This means that his strongest explosive skill "Blood Refining Sky Net" is useless.
No matter how much blood he sucked, he could not condense the eleventh blood-colored tentacle.
Ten is the limit.
Otherwise, Fang Zhixing would definitely become stronger and stronger in this hell of flesh and blood, with unlimited physical strength and unmatched in all directions.
Time passes by little by little.
Fang Zhixing's face gradually turned ugly.
Because the blood corpses' rebirth speed is getting faster and faster, the more they are killed, the more they appear.
"Nima, it's never going to end, right?!"
Fang Zhixing reset his body again, and a burst of powerful force gushed out wildly, killing everyone in the world and sweeping across the land without any enemies.
A wave of blood corpses died instantly.
Time flies.
The bloody corpses continued to emerge.
Fang Zhixing had to reset his body for the third time.
And this time, he used up the last of the materials.
He prepared a lot before coming in, but most of it was corroded by rust.
"Let me do it." Ning Yuesu jumped off the stone platform and joined the battle again.
However, Fang Zhixing couldn't let her fight alone. With her strength, she couldn't deal with so many blood corpses at the same time.
Ning Yuesu could only share some of the pressure.
Time moves forward.
An unknown amount of time had passed before Ning Yuesu was exhausted again and returned to the stone platform to rest.
Fang Zhixing let out a breath and glanced at the system panel.
[Blooddrinking Demon Blade Level 4: The conditions required for full level have been met. Do you want to upgrade? ]
"promote!"
Fang Zhi realized that he had used his last trump card in this action, and in an instant, his eyes became blurred.
After a moment, he regained consciousness.
[Blood Drinking Demon Sword Transformation Level 4 - Perfect]
[Explosive Skill: Mountain of Swords and Sea of Blood (Lv4)]
[Knife Mountain and Blood Sea: Use a level 4 sword to create a mountain of knives, creating a blood sea effect]
Fang Zhixing curled his lips. Now that he didn't have the fourth-level sword in his hand, this powerful burst skill was destined to be unusable.
Fortunately, his physical strength has returned to normal.
"I still have Yulinpo to upgrade, but I only have one chance."
Fang Zhixing was feeling anxious. There were bloody corpses everywhere around him. He could only keep fighting and couldn't stop. He had no time to find a way out.
As physical energy is consumed bit by bit.
"promote!"
Fang Zhixing gritted his teeth and used his last chance.
Yu Lin Po was directly upgraded to the fourth level of perfection.
With a whoosh! Fang Zhixing's entire body grew a thick layer of jade scales.
He stopped.
The blood corpses surrounded him and a series of attacks hit him hard.
However, Fang Zhixing stood firm, withstanding all attacks and inflicting recoil damage.
He glanced at Ning Yuesu. She was too tired and wouldn't be able to recover for a while.
"what to do?"
Fang Zhixing's heart was in turmoil. He looked deeply at the stone platform, his eyes flickering constantly.
After a long time, he raised his head, as if he had made up his mind.
Ten blood-colored tentacles vibrated together, and the explosive force rushed out like a tide.
Bang, bang, bang~ The bodies of the surrounding blood corpses twisted, blood bags appeared on their surfaces, and then their whole bodies exploded!
Fang Zhixing flashed and came to the side of the stone platform.
He said, "Yuesu, I can't hold on any longer."
Ning Yuesu was actually more anxious than him. When she thought of the tragic death of her master, she suddenly felt a little desperate.
But Fang Zhixing suddenly said: "There is a method that is worth a try."
Ning Yuesu was greatly encouraged and asked, "What method?"
Fang Zhixing replied: "This stone platform should have some kind of transformation function that can make people transform."
Ning Yuesu blinked and glanced towards the direction of the three stone statues, as if thinking about something.
Soon, she nodded and said, "We have reached a dead end. We have no choice but to test the law."
She asked, "I'll go first, how do I do it?"
Fang Zhixing replied, "You lie down first," then he moved quickly and cleared away the bloody corpses around him.
He turned back and came to the front of the stone platform. He pondered and said, "If my guess is correct, this stone platform can transform people into the appearance of the three stone statues. You are suitable to be transformed into a machine or a celestial being, and the degree of compatibility between you and the celestial being is the highest."
Ning Yuesu Lian said: "Okay, I naturally want to become a celestial being."
Fang Zhixing raised his hand and placed it on the Tianren button. After a slight hesitation, he finally pressed it.
Buzz~ The stone platform vibrated and rose more than one meter.
The next moment, the stone platform stabilized.
A large amount of mucus seeped out from the stone platform, gathered around and covered Ning Yuesu's body.
Soon, Ning Yuesu's whole body was wrapped in mucus and turned into a cocoon.
This situation...
Fang Zhixing suddenly thought of Tian Huang. When he was reborn, he was also wrapped in a similar cocoon-like mucus.
Immediately afterwards, the stone platform suddenly shone brightly and a beam of light burst out, as if piercing through the sky and the earth.
The human-shaped cocoon that Ning Yuesu was in was bathed in beams of light.
Not long after, the beam of light suddenly dissipated...
