"Give up?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent. The twelve great venerables were stunned and all looked at Wutan in great surprise.
Even when facing the two behemoths, the Yan Sect and the Huoyun Sect, he did not admit defeat. After some effort, he finally destroyed them. But at this moment, he actually admitted defeat on his own initiative.
They even suspected that they were hallucinating.
The first one to react was the Great Venerable. He frowned and said in a deep voice, "Do you want to admit defeat?"
Wu Tian did not answer, but just smiled bitterly, which was full of helplessness.
The Great Venerable's eyes were as sharp as lightning, seeing through everything and spying on everything, but he could not see through the white-haired man's inner thoughts below, as if they were obscured by a layer of mist.
At the same time, there were some complex emotions in his eyes, with disappointment being the strongest.
"Since Wu Tian admits defeat, Tian Gang, you step down. Don't mention a word about what happened today to outsiders."
The Great Master slapped the armrest of the chair with his palm. With a snap, the armrest shattered on the spot. He was already furious and announced the result directly.
The sudden sound startled everyone and their expressions became extremely complicated. This result was far beyond their expectations. But they changed their minds and realized that Wutan had been in seclusion for several years and had made some achievements in the art of prohibition, which was good, but his cultivation and strength had not improved much.
Since even the eighth-level restriction could not trap Tiangang, with his strength at the perfect stage of Tuomai, he could never be his opponent. Instead, surrendering was the wisest choice.
However, most people prefer Wutan. No matter in terms of qualifications or restrictions, he is much stronger than Tiangang, and his future achievements will definitely be higher than the former.
Old Twelve, in particular, felt extremely uncomfortable. On the one hand, he felt proud and proud for having created a genius in prohibition. On the other hand, because of the prohibition, he delayed Wujit's cultivation and indirectly sent him to the guillotine.
"Disciple obeys your command!"
Tiangang looked at Wutan deeply without revealing too much emotion. He turned around, opened the door of the palace, and left quickly.
But I wish Wutan all the best in my heart, hoping that everything will go as planned.
“Second sister, third brother, you guys guard the Dharma outside. Wujitia, you come with me.” The Great Venerable ordered, then stood up and walked towards the depths of the hall.
After letting out a long breath, Wutan followed.
To be honest, he was still a little nervous. After all, the Palace Master was a person respected even by the Great Venerables, and his strength during his lifetime was definitely at the pinnacle.
"I am so angry. Why did this wild boy Wu Tian admit defeat on his own initiative? If he really can't beat Tian Gang, he should let me know secretly. Why can't I help him?"
The Twelveth Brother was so angry that he was puffing his beard and glaring, like an ant on a hot pan. He couldn't sit or stand comfortably, and he was full of rage.
The beautiful woman sighed, "Twelfth brother, we all know that you think highly of Wu Tian, and so do I. But since he has admitted defeat, we can't let Tian Gang go. If this gets out, it will make our disciples feel disheartened."
"This is Wutan's own choice, so you can't blame anyone else. Twelfth brother, could you please sit down quietly? You're making me dizzy." The woman in colorful clothes said helplessly.
"Da da… "
It was a little dark in the depths of the hall. There were no decorations on the walls or the floor, making it look particularly empty.
Wutan followed the Great Master silently. Neither of them spoke. Only the sound of messy footsteps echoed here. The atmosphere was quite solemn.
After walking for about a hundred breaths, a pitch-black stone wall appeared in front of them. It was made of diamond and had lime scattered on it. It was dull and had obviously existed for many years.
The Great Venerable walked to the stone wall and took out the Venerable Order from his arms. A ray of light burst out from it and merged into the stone wall. Immediately, a rumbling sound was heard, and the stone wall slowly rose into the air, revealing a pitch-black hole.
After putting away the Venerable Order, the Great Venerable stepped in. Suddenly, rays of light appeared, illuminating the place brightly.
Wutan's pupils shrank, and he saw a secret passage in front of him, just wide enough for two people to walk side by side. Above the walls on both sides, there were fist-sized luminous pearls hanging, illuminating the road ahead.
"Let's go!"
The great venerable did not stop and walked straight inside.
Wutan's eyes flickered, he was silent for a moment, then he followed.
The secret passage was very long. It took about half a quarter of an hour to reach the end of the passage. In front of it was a secret room about a hundred feet in size. Two night-shining pearls as big as gourd basins were suspended in the air, shining brightly and illuminating the place as bright as day.
Suddenly, a terrifying breath rolled in. Wutan shuddered, his pores opened, and cold sweat broke out. It was as if there was a demon in front of him. A strong sense of fear rose in his heart, which he could not control at all. It came from the depths of his soul!
Restraining his emotions, Wutan looked up and saw a man in a black robe sitting cross-legged under the night pearl. Only his back was visible, and his long black hair was draped over his shoulders, like wisps of black flame floating and undulating.
What is strange is that, judging from his body shape, this person is only about one meter tall, like a child, but Wutan has an illusion that he is like a towering mountain, standing there, with a majestic momentum that is overwhelming!
Moreover, Wutan smelled a strong smell of blood from this man. In a trance, he saw millions of corpses lying in the land of nothingness and blood flowing like a river. The scene was so bloody that he was afraid to even watch it.
"Could it be him?"
Wutan followed the Great Venerable and walked in with a feeling of uneasiness.
The great venerable bowed and said, "Greetings to the Palace Master!"
As Wutan expected, this person was the Palace Master. However, there was one thing that made him extremely suspicious. At the beginning, Kong Lingzi's residual soul was a wisp of flame, but how could the soul of the Palace Master of Shura Palace be a young man
"Alas, you don't even know this. You are even dumber than Little Frog."
At this time, Xiao Wuhao's voice sounded from Wutian's sea of consciousness, patiently explaining that the reason why Kong Lingzi's residual soul was in the form of flames was because she was only in the initial stage of divine transformation, and her soul had just been born and was in an illusory state. When she reached the minor stage of divine transformation, her soul could cultivate a flesh and blood body and possess a certain degree of wisdom.
“Based on the state of this person’s soul, his cultivation level during his lifetime should have been at the great success stage of divine transformation, because only when it reaches the great success stage can the soul absorb essence and temper itself.” Xiao Wuhao inferred.
"Now that you are here, you have brought a physical body with you this time. Don't let me down again."
The Palace Master spoke in a loud and clear voice, like thunder piercing the ears. In the ten-foot-wide secret room, the echo lingered for a long time, and there was deep dissatisfaction in his tone.
"No, this time the body is from the Son of Heaven, I guarantee you will be satisfied."
"Son of Heaven!"
Hearing this, the Palace Master suddenly stood up, then turned around, with lightning flashing in his eyes.
“Buzz!”
Suddenly, Wutan’s mind was buzzing, and from his body to his heart, and then to his soul, he was all shrouded in fear!
At the same time, he also saw the man's appearance clearly. He was a man with a child's body but an adult's face, full of vicissitudes of life. His eyes were flashing with lightning, hissing, and shattering the void.
The Palace Master said with satisfaction: "Well, yes, he is indeed the Son of Heaven. You can get out now!"
"Yes!" The Great Venerable bowed, looked at Wutan deeply, turned around and walked out of the secret room, disappearing into the secret passage.
"come here."
The hall master took two steps back, pointed to the place where he had been sitting cross-legged, and motioned Wutan to go over and sit down.
After hesitating for a while, Wutan walked forward and sat on the ground. He was quite nervous. The palace master was too powerful. The pressure from his spiritual power alone made him feel breathless.
"Xiao Wuhao, are you sure?" Wutan asked in his heart.
Xiao Wuhao vowed: "Don't worry, it's just a soul, it won't cause any trouble. However, suppressing its soul this time may consume a lot of laws in the Star Realm. Then I will fall into a deep sleep again, and the repair of the two broken gloves will probably be delayed again."
Then, he seemed to know Wu Tian's worries and added, "Don't worry, I will be fine. I only need to sleep for a few years and I will be back to normal. Moreover, refining the Palace Master's Yuanshen will be very beneficial to my cultivation. When I wake up next time, maybe I will be able to remember more of the past."
At this time, Wutan's nervous heart was completely relieved, but he was very surprised that Xiao Wuhao wanted to refine the palace master's soul instead of destroying it. In this case, was Kong Lingzi's residual soul also refined
From this, Wutan further understood how terrifying Xiao Wuhao was.
Putting his reverie aside, he concentrated and calmed his mind, waiting for the Palace Master to take over his body.
"kindness?"
Looking at the man in front of him, the Palace Master was also very surprised. He could be so calm when the body possession was about to happen, as if he didn't care at all.
However, he did not care. He was just a small cultivator in the stage of perfecting his meridians. When he was alive, he could kill him tens of thousands of times with just a breath. Even if only his primordial spirit was left now, he could easily swallow up his soul and complete the possession of his body.
Then, he slowly rose into the air and hovered above Wutan's head. With a low shout, he turned into a dark light and rushed into Tiantian's crown.
"Haha, it really is a good body. After taking over the body, it only takes me 500 years to recover to the peak state before my death, or even surpass it in the past and take that step."
In the sea of consciousness, the palace master’s loud laughter rang out with such great power that Wujitian’s soul was trembling as if it was about to collapse, and a sense of fear arose in his heart!
"Wu Hao!"
Wutan shouted with his inner voice, and suddenly, endless milky light overflowed from the starry world and instantly filled his entire sea of consciousness. The laws of heaven and earth and the divine chain of order surged out and bound the palace master's soul like a rice dumpling.
"This is... the law of heaven and earth... How could it be possible that you possess such divine power..."
The Palace Master's voice was filled with fear, as if he had seen a ghost. Before he could finish his words, he was sucked into the Star Realm by the Divine Chain of Laws.
At the same time, Wu Tian also disappeared from the spot and entered the Star Realm. When he reappeared, he saw that the Palace Master was imprisoned by the laws of the Star Realm, and no matter how he struggled, it was useless and he could not escape.
"Who are you? Why do you have your own little world? This is impossible. You are only at the Tuomai stage. It is absolutely impossible. This little world is illusory. It is just an illusion. It is a lie!"
The Palace Master screamed with a look of deep disbelief on his face, denying everything he had seen. However, he could not help but believe it, because his soul was constantly dissolving and turning into strands of black energy, flowing into Xiao Wuhao's body.
