Chapter 369: The Exploding Soul
Chapter 369: The Exploding Soul
"Yes, I understand that people in later generations are very secretive about it, and there are few records that mention it." Wu Jian thought for a moment and then said, "I can't tell you at the moment. I can only say that it is too far away for you. Even in my heyday, I could only look up to it."
Wang Xiao said disappointedly: "It seems that you are still not sincere enough."
"Boy, have you ever seen anyone be so open-hearted to the enemy? The premise of everything is that you choose to join us. This is your only way to survive."
"Haha, the predecessors of my world were able to repel you ten thousand years ago, and we will be able to do the same in the future. And you will become my first stepping stone!"
"You are dreaming! Do you really think I am afraid of you? Even if you enter the legendary realm, I can still kill you!"
Wu Jian was filled with rage. He had never lowered his posture as much as he did today, especially when facing a cultivator whose realm was not even worth a hair in his eyes.
"Nine Netherworld Annihilation!"
"Certainly!"
Facing Wu Jian's sword-like attack, Wang Xiao once again deployed his domain with all his strength, and the opponent's figure was firmly controlled by him three meters away.
"Break it for me!"
There was a faint light flashing all over Wu Jian's body, and it seemed that even the space could be corroded by him, and the distance between the two was shortened little by little.
"A tiger in plain land is still a tiger!"
Wu Qiang's three eyes turned red, a faint light became brighter, and his aura surged to the extreme. The next second, he penetrated Wang Xiao's body solidly.
"boom!"
Wang Xiao’s soul exploded directly.
Outside the mausoleum, Emperor Minghuang's right hand holding the bell trembled, because he could not sense Wang Xiao's presence.
"His Majesty?"
Seeing this, Yan Song could hardly hide his smile, because the Emperor's sudden reaction was definitely not an act, and something unfavorable must have happened. On the contrary, their plan went smoothly.
"Haha, the ultimate state of returning to the origin is just like this. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being so ungrateful!"
Wu Jianyubi had no time to relax when he realized something was wrong. The temperature between heaven and earth gradually increased, and he felt a burning sensation all over his body.
"not good!"
The moment he adjusted his defense, countless sparks suddenly lit up inside the Minghuang Bell.
"Pure and kind Heavenly Flame, destroy!"
The sounds of killing were overlapping. At this moment, it seemed as if there were tens of millions of Wang Xiao casting spells at the same time, eliminating demons and defending the way.
Wu Jian was at the center of the target, surrounded by layers of flames, with no possibility of escape.
His defense gradually collapsed under Wang Xiao's attack, and the outcome was already doomed.
"I advise you not to waste your energy. Even if you can defeat me at the same level as me, you can't completely destroy me!" Wu Jian roared unwillingly.
"If I can't kill you with the refining, I will at least hurt you to death."
Wang Xiao increased his firepower to shut him up. He also knew that the other party's realm had been lowered, but his body was still beyond his ability to handle. The key at the moment was to find a way to awaken the Minghuang Bell.
He was thinking while performing the ritual, and when Wu Jian was too weak to resist, he separated a part of his spirit and flew high into the sky.
"Senior, senior!"
He called out many times but there was no response.
"Oh, it can't wake up. Once the resonance is suppressed, everything you have done will be in vain. I am still the king!"
"Noisy."
Wang Xiao slapped him hard on the spot, making his head buzz.
"How dare you! The day I free you, I will make you pay me back a thousand times over!"
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"
The loud clapping sounds continued and never stopped.
As Wang Xiao stared at the body of the bell and was at a loss, he suddenly noticed that an energy body was overflowing from Wu Jian's body and flying towards the Minghuang Bell. The cracks and wounds on the body of the bell were healed, although the treatment was weak but effective.
"Oh, right? The soul of the Curse Demon possesses the spirit of the weapon and devours it. Can I also merge with it and try to wake it up?"
As soon as he said it, Wang Xiao's spirit body split into thousands of pieces and flew towards every wound. The power of the Pure Good Heavenly Flame reappeared, but the difference was that it showed a gentle side, gently soothing the pain of thousands of years.
Finally, the weapon spirit, which had been tortured and invaded for a long time, welcomed its dawn from the darkness. Wang Xiao's efforts paid off.
"clang!"
A heavy bell rang, Wang Xiao smiled, and Wu Jian was about to cry.
"Thank...thank you..."
The sound of the Minghuang Bell sounded weak.
"You're welcome, senior. How do you feel?"
"Well, it's... warm."
Hearing this, Wang Xiao continued to work hard. His strength was not enough to cure the Minghuang Bell, but he could keep the flame from going out.
"You are a defeated general who attacked me by surprise, and now you have come to this day."
Seeing that his old rival had spoken the truth, Wu Qiang's face turned red and white and he was speechless in rebuttal.
"Senior, time is limited. Is there any way to solve it completely?" Wang Xiao quickly informed the current situation of the Minghuang Bell.
"I have awakened and regained the initiative. I can use the power in the cemetery to suppress it. If I want to completely destroy it, I'm afraid I'll need the power of fire that you have. But you have to leave soon..."
"I can leave part of my soul behind to assist you, senior."
"Hiss...Okay." Minghuang Zhong took a breath and then he noticed Wang Xiao's special condition.
Wang Xiao's spirit body that was possessed by the Minghuang Bell regrouped, and he came to the unconscious Zhu Xiaokun and the other two, and first read Wei Guo's memory, and learned that they entered the Minghuang Bell in order to use Wei Guo's spirit to guide Wu Jian. After thinking for a while, he directly tampered with their memories, making them think that Wu Jian was determined to devour the Minghuang Bell, waiting for the opportunity to cooperate with him from inside and outside.
"Senior, I'll have to trouble you to cooperate with me in the play for the next period of time. I'll have to ask you to stay in the cemetery and pretend that they have succeeded."
"It's okay. I've been asleep for long enough. A little longer won't matter. But you, will it hurt you if your soul is separated for too long?"
"Don't worry, senior. My soul is very special. In theory, it doesn't matter how long we are apart."
"Yeah, that's good. Wait a moment."
After Minghuang Zhong finished speaking, it glowed and took away part of Wu Jian's spirit to refine it.
"What do you want to do?"
Minghuang Zhong ignored his howling and after a while sent the refined soul to Wang Xiao.
"Try to see if you can absorb it."
"This... isn't a good idea. If you absorb other people's spirits to cultivate, then that wouldn't make you an evil cultivator."
"Hey, this is a gift from me to you. It is a natural essence of the soul that I have cultivated for a long time. It is pure and flawless. Don't worry."
"Old broken clock, I @¥..."
Minghuang Zhong raised his hand to silence Wu Jian, who was full of foul language. Seeing that Wang Xiao was still hesitating, he said, "Just keep it. It's a merit for getting rid of harm for the people, so I'll just charge you some interest."
"Thank you very much, senior."
Wang Xiao took it and tried to absorb it, and the result was unusually smooth. His mental strength was visibly increasing.
"Well, good! For the next period of time, part of your soul will accompany me to refine and practice."
Not long after, Wang Xiao received a call. The maintenance time of the Minghuang Bell had ended and it was time for him to go back.
"Thank you for your hard work, senior. I will take my leave now."
"Leave in peace. When the time comes, I will open the cemetery and let your soul return."
Wang Xiao bid farewell to some of the spirits of the Minghuang Bell, and evacuated the place with Zhu Xiaokun and the other two who were still unconscious.
