This kind of days lasted for a long time, but it seemed like only a few days.
But that was the longest time she had ever spent.
It's so long that it's scary.
Until... Ah Chou appeared.
From the first tentative contact, quietly writing their names on each other's skin...
Even if there will be a bleak future, it doesn't seem difficult to face.
"Where do you think this is..."
A bright red flame ignited in Su Yiyao's eyes, the same color as the surrounding sea of blood. The withering around her gradually condensed and transformed into a blood-red phoenix that would never go out.
The blood phoenix roared towards the sky, and a surging sea of blood rose up, with a power that even the strong men in the Spirit Transformation Realm feared, and it blocked Cangmu's tentacles.
Countless tentacles were corroded by the sea of blood. Under the influence of the withering will, these morbid and twisted flesh and blood creatures gradually collapsed.
Every piece of flesh and blood that fell carried an aura comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator, but they were unable to struggle against the withering will and could only sink.
"How did you do this, just building a foundation..."
Mother Cang was extremely shocked, she had never taken these keys seriously before.
In her opinion, if the gatekeeper was a strong person of the same level as them, they could certainly sit down and talk.
If one were truly a powerful person at the Yuhua realm, he would pay any price, even dignity and everything else.
But if it was just about building the foundation, Cangmu always regarded Su Yiyao as someone who could be manipulated at will. The only thing she feared was the will of the masters of other forbidden areas.
They are both the masters of the forbidden land and fellow travelers looking for a way to break in, but they cannot be close friends with each other.
Because no one knows what the conditions are for opening the door, and how many people can walk out of the cage are all unknown.
Whether one can really break through to the Yuhua realm, whether one breaks through first or later, and how far one can go after breaking through, are all unknown.
There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. These unknowns have led to the fact that even though they are the masters of the forbidden area, they have concealed a lot of things from each other.
But Cangmu didn't expect that the first stumbling block she encountered would be the gatekeeper inheritor who had always been despised.
"Could it be that she has already reached the Nascent Soul stage, or even the God-transforming stage? No... Her bone age is less than half a century..."
Mother Cang was still in shock. As the controller of the laws of life, she was very accurate in her judgment of Su Yiyao's age.
The other party was indeed a very young cultivator, and he was not a reincarnated cultivator.
But if she is really a Nascent Soul or a Spiritual Transformation expert...
Cang's mother had to wake up a little more from her deep sleep, otherwise she would not be able to take down Su Yiyao in front of her.
At this time, Su Yiyao was breathing heavily, and a hint of fatigue inevitably appeared on her face.
She knew that although Luo Xue was in a state of "death" now, she was not really dead, but was feeling the withering will in the sea of blood.
Luo Xue, who possesses a body that has withered for ten thousand years, has a much stronger affinity to the will of withering than Su Yiyao.
There is another reason why Su Yiyao is able to conform to the Will of Withering and control the True Phoenix's essence and blood as well as the True Phoenix's inheritance.
Moreover... the extra drop of True Phoenix blood in Luo Xue's body did not appear out of thin air.
In short, when Su Yiyao thought that Ah Chou was right behind her, she would no longer retreat. Even if she was facing an existence standing at the top of this world, she would not be afraid at all.
"No, she is indeed just a foundation-building cultivator."
At this time, the Ghost King who was watching the battle from afar said that his body was a withered skeleton, and two green flames were burning in his empty eyeballs.
He watched the brief fight and quickly saw through the essence of Su Yiyao's strength.
"It should be this sea of blood that really took action, and she just mobilized the power of the sea of blood." The Ghost King said in a deep voice, "She is like the darling of this world, shouting and letting the sea of blood take action for her... That's all."
This kind of "shouting" naturally requires a lot of energy, so Su Yiyao was exhausted after a short fight.
The Fallen Immortal and the Holy Lord looked down at the sea of blood, with deep fear in their eyes.
Just the shout from the foundation-building cultivator is enough to mobilize the power comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator...
What would happen if he really advanced to the Nascent Soul stage
No one in the whole world knows the power of the sea of blood better than the Lord of the Forbidden Land.
This is the true terror of the Yuhua realm, which is a deadly danger to all cultivators below the Yuhua realm, including the lords of the forbidden areas and ancient beings.
The commotion that Su Yiyao just caused was at best just a small ripple in the sea of blood.
The lords of the forbidden areas finally realized that the gatekeeper inheritor, who they thought they could easily control, actually possessed such amazing power, and they had to begin to review their previous hasty decisions.
perhaps...
Why not take them down before they grow up and talk about it later
The other three masters of the forbidden area were still thinking about how to deal with the current situation, but Cangmu didn't care so much. Her initial idea was to merge Su Yiyao into a part of her flesh and blood so that she could control the inheritance herself.
"If... it's just a fox taking advantage of the tiger's might, why should we be afraid? Hehehehe..."
The huge and ferocious monster let out a hoarse scream, and every word it uttered seemed to be mixed with countless mottled and chaotic voices.
All the lives devoured by Cangmu were imprisoned in her body and became a part of her forever.
In Cangmu's view, the little girl in front of her who controls the gatekeeper's inheritance is about to have everything taken away by her and become a poor ghost who will never be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation and die in peace.
Before the other forbidden land masters could say anything, Cangmu extended countless tentacles and entangled towards Su Yiyao.
Countless wails and cries of pain rang out among the twisted flesh and blood, and the devouring will enveloped Su Yiyao and the coffin behind her.
Cangmu was quite radical. She risked her own death and unlocked a little more of her power. The power of any of her flesh and blood tentacles reached a level close to that of a god.
Su Yiyao remained unafraid. The blood-red phoenix with withered will roamed above the sea of blood and fought with these twisted tentacles.
The will of decay corrodes the twisted flesh and blood, while the devouring will on the tentacles continues to gnaw at the bloody phoenix.
In the stalemate, the blood-red phoenix gradually lost the upper hand. Its incomplete wings looked miserable, but its proud head never lowered.
Su Yiyao can control some of the power of the sea of blood with the help of inheritance and the essence of the true phoenix, but she cannot truly awaken the sea of blood.
To put it in an analogy, the sea of blood is like a sleeping giant, and Su Yiyao can only make some of the giant's nerves respond to stress, but cannot wake it up completely.
Moreover, with Su Yiyao's current strength, just doing this is already the best she can do.
The blood-red phoenix was defeated, and a few drops of blood slid from the corner of Su Yiyao's mouth.
She would soon be unable to hold on any longer.
Building a foundation... still not enough
If she could form a pill, she could still fight back a little bit.
But now there are no conditions for forming a pill. There is neither the energy of the earth veins nor the energy of the sky veins. There is not even a chance to form a human pill.
As for enlightenment and forming the elixir, this record that only exists in legends is not something that can be achieved casually.
Nangong Mengxiang is like this because she has been at the peak of foundation building for hundreds of years. During this time, she has been searching for the whereabouts of her master with obsession, and has been gaining insights in the process.
Finally, when the obsession is achieved, one can naturally step into the realm of enlightenment and forming the elixir.
"I'm sorry, Ah Chou..." Su Yiyao half-closed her eyes tiredly, "Xiaoyao... seems to be... still very useless..."
This kind of powerlessness is just like facing the group of crocodile beasts when they were building the foundation.
She wanted to do it, but she couldn't.
And this time, it seems that I can only die here again.
Mother Cang laughed hideously, and her ugly flesh and blood made a harsh and terrifying mottled noise, as if a ghost from the abyss was laughing wildly.
The blood-colored phoenix let out a mournful cry before completely dissipating, transforming into a sea of blood that spilled all around.
Cangmu's tentacles finally got close to Su Yiyao, and countless terrifying tentacle monsters attacked the helpless little girl almost madly.
Su Yiyao leaned on the coffin, looked at the "dead" Luo Xue, and closed her eyes tiredly.
"Achou... I'm sorry..."
"Xiao...Yao..."
The hoarse and deep voice, as always.
Su Yiyao raised her head suddenly. She saw that Ah Chou, whom she had been thinking about day and night, finally opened his eyes and looked at her.
Ah, still the same look as before...
No change, Ah Chou has not changed... That's great
As soon as Luo Xue opened her eyes, she saw Su Yiyao leaning against the coffin and crying.
In a trance, she thought she had returned to her first dream.
Luo Xue sat up with difficulty, stretched out her hands that were full of desolation and withering, and gently held Su Yiyao's face.
She leaned forward slightly, put her forehead against Su Yiyao's, and said slowly and softly,
"Don't cry... If you cry... it won't look good..."
Su Yiyao still cried.
The swamp of the past is now a sea of blood.
This seems to have always been their fate.
"Ah, you have become so powerful now, Xiaoyao..."
Perhaps because of the silence, Luo Xue's voice was obscure and hoarse, but to Su Yiyao's ears, it sounded like the sound of nature.
"They have already... formed a pill..."
Forming Dan
Su Yiyao was stunned, and instantly looked inward.
That's right, she has already formed a dan...
It is neither a heavenly elixir, nor an earthly elixir or a human elixir.
It is even less likely to be the legendary elixir of enlightenment.
Instead, it was a dan that was completely black, emitting destruction and death, and was filled with the will of withering.
What prompted her to form the elixir was the will of withering.
... There has never been such a thing in history.
The Will of Withering is an existence that no living being can easily touch. Even though Su Yiyao was able to use it slightly before, she was just using it.
To form a elixir, one must fuse it with one's sea of consciousness and spiritual orifice. The essence of the withering will is uncontrollable destruction. How can it form a elixir that symbolizes the birth of a small world within the body
unless...
The will of withering is controllable.
Only one person can do it.
... Luo Xue, who has a withered body for ten thousand years.
Luo Xue is Su Yiyao’s Jindan.
The sea of blood, which had originally calmed down, began to stir up huge waves again, and the blood-colored phoenix condensed once again, but this time, it was mixed with a bit of purple.
This is their power.
Destruction and withering emerged around them, defeating all the twisted tentacles that attacked Luo Xue and Su Yiyao.
With a scream, Cangmu's huge and ugly body began to collapse, and she was forced to unlock more power to maintain her current state.
"What... is this?"
Mother Cang stared at the blood-colored phoenix intently. The pressure from the Yuhua realm became heavier and heavier. She had already released her cultivation to the initial stage of Huashen, and she could hardly hold on.
If Su Yiyao had only provoked the giant's nerve reflex before, now she has made the giant regain some consciousness.
The surging sea of blood is waking up. This is the power of the Yuhua realm that is enough to crush the masters of the forbidden areas. Even if one can only control a little bit of it, it is enough to make Cangmu tremble with fear.
The other three masters of the forbidden area turned their gazes to the two little girls hugging each other under the blood-red phoenix, and their expressions became solemn.
"There is actually such a Dan... I have never heard of it..."
"The Ten Thousand Years Withered Body is a gifted body that only exists in the records of the ancient demon land. It is not surprising that any special situation occurs."
"I see, I see. No wonder she has always wanted to find this disciple of Juexiao Sect..."
