The chaotic turbulence seemed to have swallowed up time and space, giving people a sense of confusion. But that breath was so mysterious and so familiar.
The moment Jianchou cast his gaze, the great formation that was set up ten generations ago with the combined strength of all the Yama Kings slowly revealed its appearance.
It was a layer of faint light.
It is like a transparent glass shell in a spherical shape. It can reach the dome of the entire Eighteen Levels of Hell, and explore the depths of the vast wasteland below.
Patterns of wind, thunder, rain, snow and lightning flowed on it, and there were faint grey air gathering from the periphery towards the center.
“Boom!”
The moment a few gray clouds gathered together, the sky and the earth suddenly changed color!
With the center of the formation as the center, and the place where the gray gas gathered as the center, all directions were covered by purple lightning.
But in the blink of an eye, it turned into endless wind and snow.
Faintly, one could see ice-blue or gray-black wind blades swirling around, as if they could cut through everything.
After three breaths, all these strange visions disappeared from Jianchou's sight.
All I could see was that peaceful formation, and the gray air that had reappeared at the edge of the formation, beginning to gather towards the center again...
Gather, explode, destroy, gather again...
Over and over again, there is no end!
Jianchou just stared at it in a daze, feeling the heart-pounding aura that seemed to be destroying the world.
There was no trace of any array center or array lines, as if this Shi Tian Creation Array was created by nature and had originally appeared here...
Everything disappeared here, leaving only the aura of the Yin-Yang battlefield still flowing inside.
It is rumored that the Shi Tian Creation Array was built above the Yin-Yang battlefield, covering the entire battlefield.
Now, the battlefield is no longer covered with white bones, nor are the scenes of the two sides fighting in the past, nor are the lights and shadows of swords. However, the gloomy and miserable atmosphere that is unique to the extreme domain still remains, rushing towards Jianchou...
Moreover, there is a familiar smell mixed in it...
It was so familiar that it made Jianchou's blood flow backwards and his body tremble!
That is—
The breath from the Nineteen Continents!
The Yin-Yang battlefield is located at the junction of the two worlds. It should be connected to the Polar Region inside and the Nineteen Continents outside, which is why the war broke out here.
The Shi Tian Creation Array covers the entire Yin-Yang battlefield, so how could it only cover this side of the Polar Region
Therefore, in addition to the endless earth energy wandering in the formation, she actually felt the long-lost spiritual energy!
Ever since entering the Extreme Domain, Jianchou's cultivation seemed to be restricted by something. Apart from riding the wind, he could not use the various skills he learned in the Nineteen Continents, and he could not feel any spiritual energy around him.
As a last resort, he turned to practicing the extreme realm's martial arts in order to gain some self-protection ability.
But at this moment, the invisible "restriction" that originally restricted her cultivation actually loosened slightly when she approached the Shi Tian Creation Formation, and she could even feel the attraction from the formation...
A cultivator who has achieved success in his practice can sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
And Jianchou's affinity for the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is rare in the Nineteen Continents, even Fudaoshan was shocked by it!
She can sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Likewise, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is also attracting her, calling her, or in other words...
Calling for every Dao Seal she had ever practiced!
Even though, she has no body at the moment.
"Rustle..."
There was a slight movement from the sleeve.
Jianchou was standing in the air, and without even lowering his head, he could clearly sense that it was the stone bead, the stone bead given by the Fairy in the Mist, the stone bead that contained his body!
The words she heard when she visited the Fairy in the Mist with Zhang Tang once again echoed in her ears.
"This stone will contain your body. When you leave the Extreme Region and reach the Shitian Creation Formation, it will sense the power of the Nineteen Continents, spit out your body, and fuse your body and soul. It will not harm your cultivation."
As for how to leave...
"When your body and soul are reunited, you will know."
You will know...
At that time, Jianchou didn't quite understand what was said.
Now that she was in front of the formation, it was like clearing the fog and seeing the bright day. She understood everything: the Shitian Creation Formation, the Nineteen Continents cultivators were not allowed to enter the Extreme Domain, and the Extreme Domain cultivators were not allowed to go to the Nineteen Continents, because the cultivation methods of the two were different. But if she arrived in front of the formation safely, the formation would naturally sense her true identity and send her back to the Nineteen Continents!
What seems as difficult as climbing to the sky to others is as easy as pie for her!
"Body and soul fusion, body and soul fusion..."
Four words, one voice, echoing continuously, becoming louder and louder...
Jianchou's eyes also brightened and gradually became like stars in the vast ocean.
The cultivators outside the Eighteen Levels of Hell began to be confused.
They could also see the Shi Tian Creation Array, but they were only "viewing from afar" after all, and the shock and impact they felt could not be compared to that of Jianchou himself who was in it and feeling that aura, not to mention that they were originally cultivators from the Extreme Realm and could not feel the shock of standing at the intersection of the two realms.
Therefore, they could not understand why Jianchou stood in the void for such a long time.
"What's going on? Shang Lu from the 17th floor is about to come down!"
"Good fellow, the formation can't trap Sima Lan for too long, right?"
"Shouldn't we take the opportunity to kill them?"
"What happened to her? Is she possessed?"
…
A tide of discussion and curses quickly drowned out the seventy-two cities in the polar region.
But the next moment, all the sounds suddenly became quiet. All the people who were looking at the Xuan Ring or the Eight Ding Screen couldn't believe their eyes at this moment!
“Crazy!”
"Is she crazy?"
"Why are you running towards the Shitian Creation Array?"
"What's wrong with this person?!"
After a moment of silence, Yingtian exclaimed and roared, and almost everyone suspected that they had seen it wrong.
But Jianchou, who was in the eighteenth level of hell, could not hear all of this, nor did he need to care about it. The body that had originally stayed in the void suddenly turned into a residual image, like a stream of light, flying towards the huge formation!
Below the sky was a vast ruined city; in the distance was a vast wasteland stretching for thousands of miles; at the end was her destination...
It seems there is still some distance, but Chou knows that it is only a short distance away!
This journey to the polar regions has come to an end!
The stone beads in the sleeve were constantly shaking.
The closer she got to the Shi Tian Creation Array, the more obvious and intense the vibration became. There was even a burning sensation that seeped out from the stone beads and filled her wide sleeves.
Her figure was getting farther and farther away.
Soon, they had flown over most of the city and were about to reach the last piece of wasteland. The attraction and summoning force coming from the formation at the end was so strong that it could not be ignored!
Even in the invisible, there were wisps of almost invisible spiritual power coming from the cracks in the ruined city and the cracks in the wasteland, pouring into her soul...
At that moment, Jianchou felt that something had awakened: it was those long-dormant skills...
The Heaven-Flipping Seal, the Black Wind Blade Lotus, the Dragon Scale Seal, and even the Emperor River Wind and Thunder Seal!
Although she had not yet achieved unity of mind and spirit, the things she had practiced before kept appearing in her mind, every Kun line, every Daozi, every Dao seal, and the movement of the spiritual energy in the meridians they represented...
Every bit is unforgettable!
In just a few breaths, the collapsed city gate under her feet had been left behind her, and the dilapidated streets became a background. Even the huge dust-covered square in the city shrank into a gradually distant black dot...
The wind blowing in her face reduced the temperature of her body, but it could not extinguish the heat in her heart!
Still flying!
Behind the square, there are rows of buildings, stone platforms, and even several collapsed towers, as well as...
A snow-white temple!
Tall stone pillars stand in front and behind the temple.
Just like the towering stone pillars surrounding the city, they are extremely tall and abrupt, completely different from the dilapidated ruins around them.
They were intact, even eerily new.
It is a sacred place standing in the desolation, and it seems to be the only clean place in this chaotic ruins...
Jianchou was flying so fast in the sky that the moment he realized this, he didn't have time to control his body and stop immediately!
Keep moving forward!
“Buzz!”
At that moment, a faint sound rang out, as if it had crossed some boundary, and as if it had pulled the silk thread connected to the bell and drum, thus triggering something -
The entire ruins, and even the entire Eighteen Levels of Hell, were bursting with dazzling golden light at this moment!
The city was enveloped in light, and a golden river seemed to flow through the terrifying cracks in the wilderness. Even the dry grass behind Jianchou was coated with a layer of golden light...
In the Earthbind Formation, Sima Languan, who had already pushed the human skin lantern to its limit, was preparing to escape from the Jianchou Formation to avenge his arrow attack.
But at this moment, the dazzling light of the lantern was covered by the sudden golden light, and it was as dim as a firefly.
A trace of surprise suddenly appeared on his bloodstained handsome face, and he couldn't help but look towards the ruins of the city...
A circle of ripples suddenly appeared on the old altar.
Shang Lu, who was previously blocked in the seventeenth level of hell by the Jianchou formation, appeared on the altar. His body was covered with deep scars, and he no longer looked as carefree as before. The white blood stained his robes, making him look extremely embarrassed.
The dazzling golden light appeared in his eyes almost at the same time as he stumbled to the ground.
Deep in the dilapidated alleys of the City of the Dead, an old man was sitting on a wooden bench, holding a rough stone in his hand, slowly and carefully depicting its texture with a carving knife.
At the moment when the golden light of the Eighteen Layers of Hell filled the sky, he paused for a moment and looked up at the sky outside which would never be clear.
There was a faint dark light floating in a pair of turbid eyes.
But in a flash, he returned to his initial calmness, as if he saw through everything, yet seemed indifferent. Only a hint of stagnant bitterness suddenly appeared on his lips.
"She is also a disciple of Yashan..."
The vague sound gradually disappeared.
At this moment in this boiling polar region, almost no one noticed this sigh that concealed earth-shaking information...
Everyone's sight and attention have now been completely captured by the vision in the eighteen levels of hell.
Those golden lights were completely different from the brightness and cleanliness of the gloomy and dark atmosphere of the extreme realms, but in the eighteen levels of hell, there was an indescribable sense of harmony.
As if it was supposed to be here.
The snow-white temple has now completely turned golden.
Every snow-white stone, every snow-white pillar, every snow-white step seemed to be covered with gold foil, but the golden light was not dazzling, but rather like a flowing spring, clear and bright.
The void where Jianchou was at the moment was almost exactly in front of this temple.
She only heard a loud "dang" and in the surrounding world, she seemed to be able to hear the sounds of morning bells and evening drums, and the sound of Buddhist chants, which suddenly appeared and kept echoing in her ears and between heaven and earth!
“Om Mani Padme Hum…”
Amidst the thousands of feet of golden light and the tens of thousands of Buddhist chants, a compassionate and clear sound of the Six-Syllable Mantra suddenly descended like a thunderclap!
Jianchou, who was closest to him, was suddenly shocked and felt his mind suddenly become clear. His mind was filled with the only thing in front of him, the golden light that kept flashing and changing!
Thousands and thousands of golden lights flew in from all directions on the ground, like waterfalls and flowing springs!
In the blink of an eye, they all came together and formed a strange scene.
A thousand-petal golden lotus platform rose up in the golden light.
A compassionate Buddha statue slowly revealed its shape in the golden light.
He was wearing loose clothes, holding a jewel in his left hand and a staff in his right hand. His face was solemn, but his eyes were slightly closed and not open.
The entire Buddha statue stands solemnly on the lotus, appearing high up in the temple.
The sky is above your head and the earth is under your feet.
Jianchou barely stopped five feet in front of the Buddha statue, and felt the surging Buddha power rushing towards her. She was hundreds of feet high in the air, but she was just at the same height as the Buddha statue's raised arm!
How insignificant she is compared to this huge Buddha statue
Jianchou was only trying to rush to the Shitian Creation Formation, but he never expected to encounter such a change halfway. He was afraid that he had accidentally triggered some kind of restriction in the ruined temple.
She was shocked and angry, and frowned.
Although he remained motionless, his body was tense and he was extremely alert.
The appearance of this Buddha statue here for no reason is bound to cause some changes.
Jianchou did not dare to act rashly and waited for changes; outside the Eighteen Levels of Hell, countless people held their breath to see what would happen next.
However, unexpectedly, nothing happened.
The huge golden Buddha statue still stands in the same place.
It seemed like just a clay puppet, with no perception of anything around it. Even when Jianchou was right in front of it, it did not move.
This is really confusing.
There are certainly various secret connections between the Jiyu and Buddhism, and even in the prisons along the way there are many Buddha statues.
But the huge ruins under Jianchou's feet were obviously not formed in recent years.
The snow-white temple forms a sharp contrast with the old ruins.
Not to mention, after Jianchou triggered the restriction, this huge Buddha statue suddenly appeared...
Although it seemed to be just a dazzling shadow, the shock it brought to people was no less than when Jianchou first saw this huge ruin.
in the end…
What is it
"I will not attain Buddhahood until hell is empty. I thought the great vow of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was just a legend, but now I know it is true!"
A clear and elegant voice suddenly crossed most of the void and reached Jianchou's ears.
Her tense body suddenly froze, and she stood in front of the unknown Buddha statue, looking back—
At some point, a familiar figure appeared on that old altar.
He wore a loose robe and had a face as handsome as jade.
Although he looked disheveled, he had a seemingly friendly smile on his face. Who else could it be but Shang Lu, who had previously fought with Jianchou on the seventeenth floor
he…
How could it be here
Jianchou's heart sank immediately.
She thought of Zhang Tang and Fu Chaosheng who were originally on the seventeenth floor.
Shang Lu was trapped by her formation at the beginning, and later he was followed by Zhang Tang and Fu Chaosheng who had already dealt with the group of Tantric monks.
Logically speaking, Shang Lu would never be able to walk into the eighteen levels of hell alive under the siege of her team!
Unless, something unexpected happened to Fu Chaosheng, Zhang Tang and others...
This inference made Jianchou's face and mood gloomy.
Shang Lu, who was far away, seemed to be able to see her expression and actually smiled, but there was a hint of hidden cruelty in his eyes!
"Fellow Daoist Jianchou seems very surprised to see Shang here!"
Accident
How could it not be surprising
Fu Chaosheng did not show up, Zhang Tang did not show up, and Chen Tingyan and Gu Ling disappeared without a trace...
Jianchou's brows furrowed even more tightly, and the shadow in his heart deepened.
It was just the matters on the previous level, which she was completely unable to interfere with, not to mention that at this moment she was only half a ruin and a wasteland away from the Shi Tian Creation Array!
I can’t care less!
There is no time to think so much!
Jianchou did not answer Shang Lu's words at all. Almost the moment he finished speaking, he turned around and moved to the right, trying to bypass the Buddha statue and continue on his way.
But at the moment she turned around, she saw the formation not far in front of the altar out of the corner of her eye!
That was the Earthbind Formation she had set up earlier to trap Sima Languan, but at this moment, there was no one in the formation!
Sima Languan -
Gone!
Danger!
This thought appeared in Jianchou's mind almost instantly. She subconsciously turned over, lowered her height, and went downward, trying to avoid something.
However, the next moment, a tide of golden light enveloped her.
These golden lights all come from the Buddha statues.
The sorrow in front of the Buddha statue is unavoidable!
"Bang!"
A figure covered in mud suddenly appeared in the golden light, and his five fingers formed into claws and directly imprinted on Jianchou's shoulder!
“Puff!”
The five fingers, as sharp as knife blades, almost immediately sank into the flesh, splashing out bright white blood!
Because it was a soul body, half of Jianchou's shoulder almost collapsed immediately and became almost transparent. At the same time, severe pain was transmitted to her mind, almost tearing her entire mind apart!
It was like a lifeless boulder falling from the sky.
Jianchou was caught off guard by the sudden sneak attack, and he was already in a downward momentum, so he immediately fell from mid-air!
“Boom!”
The snow-white temple, with its golden glow faded, does not seem as solid as it appears.
Jianchou's body rushed straight forward!
The tall and abrupt stone pillars were shattered in an instant; the standing high walls collapsed helplessly; the high dome also collapsed with a loud bang...
Everything along the path her body passed was turned into ruins!
In the end, it was deeply embedded in the fourth thick wall. The left shoulder that was attacked was almost numb from the pain. The cold and stiff fingers could only touch the cold stone in the wall...
Jianchou felt her blood surge up, and there was a strange force that started from her shoulders, like a purifying light, expelling the soul power in her body, leaving the area of her shoulders, preventing her from repairing her body...
"Sima... Lan Guan..."
A difficult voice came out of her throat.
She was inside the wall, just looking up—
Above her head was the shadow of the huge Buddha statue, and she was just below the lotus pedestal, as tiny as an ant. In front of the Buddha, the previously condensed Buddha light dissipated, and Sima Languan's figure, covered in mud, became clear.
At this moment, Sima Languan is not much better than Jianchoulai.
His arms were twisted at a strange angle, and half of his originally handsome face disappeared, leaving a hideous look. Only his eyes could vaguely show his former charm, not to mention his tattered clothes.
All of this is thanks to the Jianchou formation!
A pair of cold eyes revealed endless chillness.
Sima Languan looked down at Jianchou, just as Jianchou had looked at him before: "How does it feel?"
how
Sima Languan's skills were naturally extremely strange, hiding in the light. He must have escaped from the formation when the Buddha statue was shining, and hid in the light, so that he could finally attack her without anyone noticing.
And Shanglu...
He should have seen all of this, but he was not a friend who would offend her, so he would not warn her. Instead, he just sat on the mountain and watched the fight, talking to her and trying to distract her.
She didn't waste time talking to him, but still couldn't avoid Sima Languan's attack.
When Jianchou was thinking, he was extremely calm.
But she was now hanging on this snow-white high wall. Thanks to Sima Languan's sneak attack, she had actually passed through the original location of the Buddha statue from below and approached the first layer of the Shitian Creation Array...
That call became stronger.
There was even a faint trace of power, which was attracted from the stone wall, from the surrounding void, and from under her feet, and began to be injected into her soul!
This is…
The long-lost spiritual power of heaven and earth!
Although the Shi Tian Creation Array is huge and covers the entire Yin-Yang battlefield, the place where she is now should be very close to the Shi Tian Creation Array!
These spiritual powers of heaven and earth should be the spiritual energy around the Yin-Yang battlefield. They are extremely rare and far from comparable to the Nineteen Continents.
But for Jianchou, who had not been exposed to spiritual power for a long time, this was like a refreshing rain after a long drought...
The amount of Earth Power Yin Hua that flowed into her body was not much, and it was not visible to the naked eye, but the moment it entered, it entangled fiercely with the Earth Power Yin Hua that was already in her body...
Then, there was a slight "click" sound.
It's like an eggshell breaking.
That was the sound of the restrictions in her body caused by the extreme realm being broken!
At this moment, Jianchou had many complicated thoughts in his mind.
For example, her original Dao seals, the vibrating stone beads in her sleeves, the body that had not yet appeared automatically, etc.
Nascent Soul!
The golden elixir is broken and the primordial infant emerges.
It is to cultivate one's soul into a physical form, so that it has the power that the physical body possesses. This can be called "body and mind □□".
She still remembered that she was a body of heavenly emptiness.
The soul is incomplete and the meridians are dissolved.
Before leaving the body, there is no rival; once you examine your conscience, you are doomed to die.
But at this moment, isn't she appearing in the world as a soul
So…
If the spiritual power is absorbed, without a physical body, can the old Taoist seal be used
Jianchou's gaze, with a hint of vagueness and trance, was still fixed on Sima Languan's figure high up.
There was a familiar smell of blood in my throat.
But her fingers were stuck in the cracks of the stone wall. Out of sight of everyone, she trembled and stiffened a little as she made a light hand gesture with difficulty...
A streak of light lit up silently and disappeared silently into the gap.
Sima Languan in front of her, thinking that he had won the battle, was flying towards her; Shanglu in the distance, after taking a look, quietly passed through the dry grass in front of him and approached the ruins, as if he wanted to wait for an opportunity to move...
It's really a crisis upon crisis, danger upon danger.
Logically, she should be very nervous.
But at this moment, she really couldn't hold it back at all, and suddenly laughed out loud, happily and happily!
The distinct black and white of his eyes were brighter than ever before, as if illuminated by a clear sky different from that in the polar regions, so vast and lofty!
Sima Languan, who was galloping over, frowned immediately, and felt a kind of arrogance coming towards him.
Death is imminent, yet you dare to laugh!
However, Shang Lu, who was farther away, had his pupils shrank drastically, and he stopped with a bit of vigilance for some reason, as if he wanted to see what was going on below.
It can be seen that why should Chou care about those things
She simply mobilized the soul power around her body and shook it lightly. Then there was a muffled sound. The body that was originally embedded in the stone wall by Sima Languan's attack moved out horizontally out of thin air.
The stone wall that was hit by her body seemed to have lost its balance at this moment and suddenly collapsed!
After a loud "boom", smoke and dust rose up.
Only Jianchou's body, still somewhat stiff due to serious injuries, was left floating in the air.
The feeling at this moment is extremely strange.
Obviously Jianchou was the one at a disadvantage, but almost everyone, whether inside or outside the Eighteen Layers of Hell, believed that—
At this moment, she is extremely powerful!
Sima Languan immediately realized that something was wrong, and suddenly accelerated in mid-air, re-entering the golden light emitted by the statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and rushed towards Jianchou!
But how could his speed compare to Jianchou's
As her right hand loosened, the white jade crown that she had been holding in her palm suddenly shone brightly!
The bright white light carries an indescribable sense of intimidation.
At the moment when Sima Languan was close to Jianchou in the Buddha's light, the light of the white jade crown was like a stone wall, which forcibly knocked Sima Languan's figure out of the Buddha's light!
"Bang!"
A muffled sound!
His body slammed into the ruins dozens of feet in front of Jianchou, splashing up a new cloud of dust, and dozens of burning scars appeared on his body!
"sky!"
"Four Elephants White Jade Crown!"
“Finally it worked!”
Outside the Eighteen Levels of Hell, the atmosphere began to boil again.
People have known for a long time that Jianchou has three killer weapons in his hands.
The sky-swallowing and earth-devouring virtual demon umbrella, the six-meridians spirit-dividing mirror, and the four-symbol white jade crown.
The first two had already been used in previous battles, and the six-sided spirit-distracting mirrors were often used by Jianchou in the second half of the third round of the cauldron fight, but the "Four Symbols White Jade Crown" hardly showed any of its power!
If Jianchou hadn't been used for a long time, they would have almost forgotten its existence!
Originally, people thought that this was a sure kill for Sima Languan, but when the Four Symbols White Jade Crown appeared, countless people were already screaming wildly in their hearts—
uncertain!
uncertain!
The Four-Elephants White Jade Crown is known as the "Unbeatable King's Crown"!
It’s still uncertain who will be the winner!
The snow-white crown is carved entirely from white jade.
Ancient runes are engraved on it, and the flowing bright light reveals a sense of gentleness and tolerance, but no one can deny that it is high above, as if it can dominate the entire world!
When Jianchou's gaze fell on it, his face was full of calmness.
She gently loosened her five fingers and clenched her palm, and the Four Symbols White Jade Crown seemed to sense something and automatically floated upwards, landing exactly three inches above her head!
Crash!
A waterfall of white light suddenly poured down from the crown, as if it had put a luxurious royal robe on Jianchou. Mixed with the purple jade light after her nirvana, it was even more majestic!
The severely injured shoulder was repaired rapidly in the white light.
His cultivation level, which had declined due to the battle, returned to its peak in the blink of an eye!
Jianchou stared calmly ahead, but he finally stretched out his right hand towards the void to the side and pulled steadily -
At that moment, an extremely terrifying aura swept across the entire ruins!
Sharp and sharp.
Even the Four Symbols White Jade Crown floating above Jianchou's head seemed to be suppressed by this breath, and there were signs of faint trembling!
It was a long sword that suddenly appeared in the air.
The scabbard is more than three feet long, black and engraved with ancient patterns, while the hilt and handle of the sword both have a cold black glow, giving people a sense of oppression as if they were the ruler of the world.
Jianchou held the hilt tightly with his five fingers and pulled the dark sword out of the scabbard. The map of mountains and rivers engraved on the sword gradually became clear...
One inch.
One inch.
Every inch of it is filled with suffocating murderous intent!
At this moment, there was a horrifying silence inside and outside the eighteen levels of hell!
“Zheng—”
There was only the sound of the sword when it was unsheathed!
The last leg of the journey back home is destined to be difficult.
But she will cross over eventually.
Just like no matter how long the night is, there will eventually be dawn.
Jianchou, with the Four Symbols White Jade Crown on his head and the Sword of Mountains and Rivers in his hand, felt the spiritual power quietly filling up in his body, and his eyes gradually became fiery.
Looking at Simalan Pass nearby and Shanglu in the distance, she just laughed openly—
"I'm very short on time. If you two want to fight, then come together!"
