Chapter 336: Fighting with the Heavenly Dao to Seize the Soul
In the dark sky stirred by wind and clouds, black and red lightning danced like dragons and snakes.
The turbulent aftermath tore apart the dark clouds, revealing the deep chaotic turbulence behind them.
The role of the origin of the holy artifacts is only to serve as a navigation in the Heavenly Dao Festival, allowing them to trace the origin of the Heavenly Dao and cut off the connection between the holy artifacts and it, causing them to lose their magical powers in the human world.
However, if you want the holy weapon to change its owner, there is one most crucial condition, which is to let the original holder die.
The timing is just right because it is during the transition of power.
These high-ranking figures have been trying their best to break free from their constraints and ascend to the immortal world. Their physical bodies should have withered and no longer be in their prime.
So they weren't lying.
Through the divine secrets glimpsed through the Heavenly Dao Sacrifice, no matter what the variables were, they accomplished this feat every time, winning all the time without losing.
However, stubbornness has always been a bad trait ingrained in the human race, and they will not be willing to peacefully give up the power in their hands with just a few words.
So a war is inevitable.
The first place where the battle broke out was Xuanyuan Immortal Mansion.
Under the gloomy black sun, the figure of Chu Xiong, the head of the Chu family, dressed in purple robes, exudes a strong murderous aura. With a flip of his hand, he brings thousands of killing lights and comes like a falling star.
The blue-yellow sky suddenly darkened the moment he arrived, leaving only the overwhelming flames in the distant sky.
The headmaster of Xuanyuan Immortal Mansion appeared from the top of the mountain, raised his palm to greet him, and his eyes began to tremble constantly.
Then, in the northwest of Yongzhou, a straight black light descended from the sky, and the Holy Palace of the Shanhai Pavilion's headmaster was submerged in a loud bang.
The Five-Colored Cliff collapsed with a loud bang and was razed to the ground by the swirling air waves.
The headmaster of Shanhai Pavilion walked out of the Holy Palace, which had fallen with the mountain but not collapsed, with a gloomy expression, and rushed towards the second beam of black light while roaring, and saw the ancestor of the Wei family pressing down on him from above.
Following closely behind him was the ancestor of the Li family who landed on the Wendao Mountain.
He held a short knife in his hand and wore a bright yellow robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon. After his blood and energy were restored, he looked like a young emperor in his prime.
The Li family was originally an old royal family that failed in the struggle for supremacy during the chaotic era of war among various countries. After the founding of Daxia, it has always existed as an ordinary family. However, the old people of the old times always have some leftover habits and are keen on wearing the yellow robe.
"boom!!!!"
The huge knife light fell fiercely.
The head of the Wending Sect used the jade ball in his hand to fight against it, and his face gradually became ferocious.
The battle between the two immortal realms was so powerful that it could be described as earth-shaking. Even though they were thousands of miles apart, the traces of the tearing filled the sky, and endless immortal light spread out for thousands of miles in waves.
At the same time, because this realm is too close to the way of heaven, the entire Qingyun is affected.
Countless mountains turned over like earth dragons and shook wildly, while endless torrential rain poured down from all directions without warning, causing the water levels of the Nujiang River and the Wujiang River to surge in an instant and then burst their banks.
The scene was as if the dome was collapsing and the sky was flooding backwards, which was far more terrifying than the so-called tide of corpses.
Under the dojo of the six major immortal sects, countless aristocratic families that had gathered because of the tide of corpses fled frantically again.
"What on earth happened?"
"Go, go quickly, a war has broken out in the Immortal Realm..."
"Everything has turned upside down..."
It was no secret that the Zheng family's ancestor had appeared in Qiling as a fairyland, and all the major families were aware of it.
Now, the thousand-year-old families have joined forces and have been planning for several years. Many people understand that the fairyland will appear in the end.
Under the terrifying sky, countless fleeing figures flew through the air, and they did not dare to stop or look back even when they were a hundred miles away.
At this time in Shengjing City, at the residence of Prince Chong.
Seeing the murderous light coming down from the sky in the distance, the sky was in chaos, and countless cultivators living in the courtyard were pale.
"They did it. The Chu family, the Li family, the Wei family... First there was the zombie tide, then the holy weapon, and then the Linxianjing attacked the mountain. Each step was closely linked."
"Nonsense, what qualifications do they have to influence the holy artifact?!"
The heads of the Qiu, Huang, Sheng and other families looked at King Chong, their frightened eyes filled with subconscious denial.
King Chong pointed at the city wall with a pale face: "The incident with the great formation has already proved that the sacred weapon is indeed ineffective. This is the real disaster."
In fact, since the zombie tide began, this whole thing has been breaking everyone's cognition time and time again.
The thousand-year-old families joined forces to rebel, and there was no news from the expedition for many days, but in fact, no one was that nervous.
Ultimately, it was because they subconsciously felt that there was a holy artifact suppressing them. This was a habit that the human race had developed over thousands of years.
But at this time they finally realized that everything was about to turn upside down.
You Linxianjing entered the Immortal Sect, and the holy weapon became ineffective at this moment. The Immortal Sect will no longer be the invincible Immortal Sect in the world.
It’s true that the Qingyun family has always secretly been dissatisfied with the high-ranking Immortal Sect, and many ambitious people have daydreamed about replacing them.
There are even some people who are full of hatred towards the Immortal Sect and wish that several of them would perish.
But when they actually saw that things had gone from being impossible to happening, they still felt fear deep down in their hearts.
Because the Immortal Sect has been around for so many years, the lives of these people have at least been stable.
Although we hear from time to time that the main branches of the immortal sects violated the Qingyun Immortal Rules but did not receive any punishment, at least it can indeed limit many human disasters.
No one dared to imagine what kind of tomorrow they would face if the Immortal Sect fell after this catastrophe and the power of the world was controlled by others.
On the top of Mount Ni, the three remaining hall masters had changed their expressions.
They had learned the whole picture of the deadlock through spiritual communication and finally believed everything Chu Yu had said before.
They have been preparing for so many years, and they really won't leave any chance of survival for the six major immortal sects at the end.
However, those who feel this more deeply are actually those who live in Risheng County.
Shanhai Pavilion is the closest to this place, and they have already felt the aftermath of the battle here, which means that things are imminent and they know that the killing has begun.
No one in the field knew what the black light that shot up into the sky was, but they knew that since it needed the support of the Heavenly Dao Sacrifice, all they had to do was interrupt the Heavenly Dao Sacrifice.
In fact, the way to stop the Tiandao Festival is not difficult, but very simple.
That is to kill the person who performs the sacrifice, so that the entire ceremony can be interrupted.
They had just scanned with their spiritual sense and found that the one presiding over this Heavenly Dao Sacrifice was the former Xuanyuan Saint Chu Xian.
Just like practicing, offering sacrifices to the Heavenly Dao also requires an extremely high level of comprehension. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people who couldn't comprehend anything during the Heavenly Dao sacrifices in the past. What's more, he was not simply offering sacrifices, but manipulating something.
So no one was surprised that he was the one performing the sacrifice.
Chu Xian is indeed a brilliant genius, but he is also easy to kill.
However, this world has been completely blocked by evil spirits, and even if the six major immortal sects just reach here, it is already their limit.
Once they enter the scope of the Heavenly Dao Festival, they will be attracted by the Heavenly Dao, and after getting lost, they will turn into the Dao and die, and they will be completely powerless.
Countless people here turned around and looked at Shang Xiyao, Huo Xingzhong, and the siblings Chen Luo and Chen Xi.
They are the direct descendants of the Immortal Sect, and what those demons want to seize is their family's Taoist tradition. In the eyes of everyone, they should do something.
But none of the four moved, they just stood there with gloomy eyes. Although their eyes looked cold, they could see a hint of fear.
It was a dead end with no chance of survival, so they didn't dare to try.
"Return to the clan. I want to die in battle with my father."
Huo Xingzhong clenched his fist, and then a look of determination flashed in his eyes.
When people heard this, they all looked strange.
Because everyone knows that if they want to die in battle with their father, they can do so here, and the so-called return to the clan and die in battle is only because they know in their hearts that compared to the inevitable death in front of them, returning to the clan may still give them a glimmer of hope.
But before they could leave, a loud shout of terror suddenly came from the south side of the city wall.
"Evil disciple!!!"
“Senior Brother!!!!”
The disciples of the six major immortal sects were instantly brought back to their senses and looked in the direction of Kunmen.
On the city wall, Cao Jinsong and others opened their eyes wide, their expressions instantly became ferocious, and even their eyes turned red due to the blood.
Everyone immediately looked in the direction they were looking at, and saw Ji You had already stepped in, holding the long sword with an expressionless face, and fell into the thick murderous aura.
He jumped very crisply and suddenly.
Cao Jinsong had been worried that Yan Shuyi would become the tall one, so he was on guard the whole time, but when he attacked, he only pulled off a piece of tattered cloth from his back.
The other people on the city wall also opened their eyes wide instantly and looked at the figure in disbelief.
Especially Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu, their brains suddenly felt like they exploded and their faces turned pale.
Even those monsters who had stopped and were waiting for victory showed a hint of disbelief at this moment, looking down at them with confusion in their eyes.
"Is he crazy?!"
"Doesn't he hate the Immortal Sect the most? What does the destruction of the six major Immortal Sects have to do with him?!"
"Bang!!"
There was a dull thud and everyone found that Ji You fell heavily to the ground.
The altar wall is very high, but it is not worth mentioning for cultivators, and it is impossible for them to fall to the ground in such an awkward position.
The only possibility is that he lost consciousness when he stepped in, so he fell to the ground.
He entered the Tiandao Festival.
The Heavenly Dao Sacrifice is meant to connect to the Heavenly Dao. Compared to ascetic practice, this sacrifice is like a carriage, a carriage that carries the soul away on its own.
The soul that is taken away will be introduced into the Heavenly Dao, allowing the cultivator to gain a clearer and more direct understanding of the Heavenly Dao.
However, this process requires sacrifice.
The souls of the human race are extremely small in the boundless heaven, not even as small as a drop in the ocean. Only sacrifices can guide them to find their way home. Otherwise, they will inevitably turn into the heavens and never return.
The six major immortal sects do not allow anyone from the sacrificial family to practice immortality, but for so many years, they have been living a transcendent life by relying on this profession, which shows its importance.
This is a well-known fact, and the result of Ji You's breaking into the altar is naturally expected.
The most terrifying thing is that without a priest, no one can save him from the way of heaven. Even if a priest is found, he will not be able to see his position because he has never followed him.
This is exile, the most terrible exile, an exile that will never end.
Huo Xingzhong and Shang Xiyao looked at this scene with a slightly cold look in their eyes.
Ji You entered the altar alone at this moment, which actually embarrassed them, after all, they were the direct disciples.
But the good thing is that he has now become a Taoist here, which proves to everyone that these direct disciples are not afraid, but are rational enough.
Knowing it is a dead end, but still insisting on going is like a moth to a flame.
However, flying like a moth into a flame is not a heroic act, but rather foolish.
The two men clenched their sleeves and prepared to leave, but before they turned around, they suddenly saw that everyone did not look away, but instead fixed their eyes on them. They couldn't help but frowned slightly, so they looked again.
From jumping out to falling, it took only a few breaths, and Ji You really didn't move at all.
But a cluster of faint blue flames burst out from his body. At first, it was just a faint dot, and then it kept swaying and gradually began to cover his body.
Just as everyone was stunned, a groan sound came from the altar, causing everyone to be stunned.
After a few breaths, Ji You slowly got up from the ground.
"?"
"He...he didn't have a soul that could enter the heaven?!"
In the midst of astonishment, Ji You was like a drunkard who had drunk too much, his steps swaying from side to side, and he looked unconscious.
Then with a bang, he took a step forward.
In an instant, a golden light and shadow that was extremely similar to his body shape vibrated out from his body, as if something in his body was being pulled out violently, creating a fierce conflict with him.
But the golden light and shadow did not escape smoothly, but returned again when he stopped.
Then came the second step. The golden light reappeared, continuing to struggle with a dazzling light. Ripples were rippled all around, and golden clouds flew across the sky, like ink splashed from an overturned inkstone, but it still could not be separated from it?
Then comes the third step, the fourth step...
Ji You was like a bottle full of water, staggering as he walked, his steps seeming extremely heavy.
As his footsteps shook, the golden soul continued to overflow again and again, but each step was less than the previous one.
Few people in the human race would cultivate their physical bodies, because the physical body would restrict the soul, thus weakening the connection between heaven and man.
Even when the physical body becomes too strong, it will completely imprison the spiritual mind.
Ji You has been practicing body cultivation for several years and has always paid special attention to this matter. If there is too much water, he adds flour, and if there is too much flour, he adds water, maintaining it in a delicate balance.
As the spirit and soul continue to grow stronger, the constraints of the physical body also continue to increase.
The relationship between the two seems relatively unchanged, but in fact both the strength of the soul and the restraint of the physical body are constantly increasing.
He didn't believe that anyone could force him to comprehend the way of heaven if he didn't want to.
Ji You gritted his teeth, continued to keep the spiritual fire in his body burning, and then stepped out again.
This is his third level.
The moment he fell, he began the third level.
The strong feeling of restraint continued to wrap around him, as if to crush him.
However, this original obstacle to breaking through now became the strongest pull between his body and soul, causing his body and spirit to be tightly connected.
Five steps, six steps...
Under everyone's gaze, Ji You's steps gradually became steady, while the trembling of the golden light and shadow body became less and less.
The most important thing is that when he took the first two steps, the golden light and shadow only returned after he stopped moving.
But in the following steps, he was pulled back every time.
Seeing this scene, the people from the six major immortal sects were stunned for a long time, and shock and confusion gradually flashed in their eyes.
He entered the Tiandao Festival, but did not transform into a Taoist. Instead, he began to walk deeper into the altar.
At this moment, both his condition and the light and shadow radiating from his body were incomprehensible.
"How could this be? What is he doing?"
"He is forcibly snatching his own soul from the Heavenly Dao."
Zuo Qiuyang frowned and stared at the calm figure as he spoke, his eyes becoming increasingly profound.
At this time, Ji You, who was surrounded by evil spirits, walked more and more steadily, and his steps became faster and faster. Then he suddenly clenched his fists, and the energy flowed out of his body, causing a gust of wind and waves all over his body.
At this moment, the golden light and shadow could no longer appear. Instead, endless golden light surged like waves in his eyes, erasing his distraction and trance, and replacing it with gradual clarity.
Zuo Qiuyang saw this scene and said softly: "It seems that the Heavenly Dao can't snatch him away."
“???”
Hearing these words, the disciples of the six major immortal sects and the aristocratic families in the world all looked dazed.
The Way of Heaven leads people's souls to heaven. This is completely involuntary. How could anyone resist the Way of Heaven or even fight against it?
However, the fact is that Ji You actually entered the human altar where the Heavenly Dao Sacrifice had already begun.
Heaven's will forced him to do so, but he refused.
The original deadlock suddenly turned into a change, making it difficult for everyone to react for a while.
Ji You has always been supernatural, but they didn't expect that this almost inevitable murderous intention could be torn open by him in such a horrifying way.
With a loud bang, everyone suddenly came back to their senses and saw that the figure in the evil spirit had already stepped into the center of the altar and held their breath instantly.
The evil spirit has the ability to obscure the soul. Once the distance is far, no one can catch his figure. Only those who have reached the fifth level of perfection can stare at him as he runs wildly in the dark fog.
The human race’s altar is extremely vast, but for cultivators, this distance is nothing.
Ji You walked forward, passing by the corpses of countless immortal cultivators who had shined brightly in the Immortal Association. When he approached the center, he saw one or two figures sitting cross-legged.
Among them, there was a black light roaring and shooting up into the sky between the heavens and spirits.
Suddenly, Ji You stretched his arm like a full bow, stepped on the ground like a wild beast, and slashed down with the green sword in his hand.
BANG!!!
A pair of red iron hands suddenly clamped the Taoist sword, and the powerful impact directly cut a long mark in the surrounding evil spirit.
Chu Xian took the sword with both hands, and suddenly retreated ten feet. Then he looked up at the figure in front of him, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
Because during the Tiandao Festival, it is impossible for anyone to enter this place midway.
He has verified this countless times.
"Ji You?"
"It seems that all I have to do is kill you."
"?"
Ji You looked at the black light on his forehead and suddenly shook the sword. He suddenly stepped on the ground and the sword in his hand emitted a clear sword chant.
The sword energy rushed straight into the sky with a strong sword pressure, making a series of explosions and coming with a bang.
Chu Xian suddenly swung his robe and met the attack head-on with his red iron hand. In an instant, he felt a powerful force pressing down on his arms.
With a puff, his purple sleeves suddenly exploded.
The veins on his exposed arms were now bulging, and the skin was turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye, causing his eyes to suddenly constrict.
But before he could react for a moment, the next sword came slashing down like a torrent.
Amidst the dense sparks, the sword slashed like a violent storm, pouring down with powerful energy and sharp sword energy.
Chu Xianze kept waving his arms, his red iron hands were like burning irons, colliding with Ji You's Taoist sword dozens of times in an instant.
Just when a circular slash around the sky was about to be neutralized by his iron hand, the former Holy Son of Xuanyuan suddenly raised the corner of his mouth, and took advantage of the gap when his sword was swinging to suddenly clench his hands into a claw, grabbing the air and fiercely reaching for Ji You's chest.
But at this moment, Chu Xian's smile suddenly froze on his face.
In the violent air wave, Ji You suddenly grabbed a sword from the air wave, and the whistling sword energy suddenly bloomed in front of him.
With a loud bang, Chu Xian was chopped off and flew out like a kite with a broken string, smashing a deep hole in the altar.
"It seems to be trembling."
"?"
Although the people standing on the besieged city could not see through the evil spirit, they could see the flashes of sword light, and they were trembling with fear that it could be so ferocious in the midst of the evil spirit.
It was not until someone spoke that they came back to their senses and looked at the black light rising into the sky.
After waiting for a long time, the black light indeed began to tremble slightly.
