Chapter 12773 This place is really scary

Ling Xiao stood in front of the door, his eyes firm and deep. He knew the importance of entering the spiritual path this time, and also understood the dangers. However, he did not back down, because he knew that only those who have experienced the test of life and death can truly grow.

"Thank you for your reminder, old man. I'm ready." Ling Xiao bowed slightly to the old man to express his gratitude. Although his voice was calm, it revealed his unquestionable determination.

The old man looked at Ling Xiao's receding back and shook his head helplessly. He knew that his words did not change Ling Xiao's decision.

But he also understood that everyone has his own path to take, even if the road ahead is full of dangers and unknowns. He could only wish Ling Xiao a safe return.

"Alas, it's hard to persuade a ghost who wants to die." The old man sighed and took another sip of wine. He looked into the distance, as if recalling the past.

Having guarded this place for so many years, he has witnessed too many separations of life and death, and has also seen too many young faces disappear in the spiritual road.

But he knew that this was the rule of this world and no one could change it.

At this time, Ling Xiao finally stepped into the legendary spiritual road. The road in front of him was not an ordinary road, but a strange passage that was hundreds of meters wide.

His heart was filled with curiosity and anticipation, and every step he took made him feel unprecedented shock.

In the spiritual road, the spiritual energy is so rich that it almost condenses into liquid. This rich spiritual energy is several times stronger than the third level of the Heavenly Spirit Palace.

This powerful force made Ling Xiao feel the throbbing of life and the infinite possibilities of martial arts. His heartbeat accelerated, his blood boiled, and it seemed as if his whole body was cheering.

However, this feeling of excitement did not last long. Just as Ling Xiao was intoxicated by the rich spiritual energy, an overwhelming pressure suddenly came over him, as if to swallow him up.

The pressure was so horrific that he could hardly breathe, and even standing became extremely difficult.

This is the first difficulty one faces when entering the Spiritual Road. This terrifying pressure is enough to make a martial artist in the Martial Soul Realm unable to straighten his back. It is precisely because of this that even those powerful martial artists in the Martial Soul Realm stay away from this place and dare not easily step in.

Ling Xiao took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm. He knew that he was in a completely new world and any panic could lead to his failure. He had to rely on his own strength to overcome this terrifying pressure.

However, at this moment, he felt unprecedented loneliness and helplessness. In his magic needle space, those partners who once fought side by side with him were no longer there.

Ahri and Tongtong have left to find their own paths; Qiu Shui Kui is still practicing hard in the cemetery; and the Demon Soul King, although extremely powerful, has not yet revived and cannot give him any help.

Ling Xiao knew that he had to rely on himself for everything. He had to rely on his own strength to overcome this terrifying pressure and explore this mysterious spiritual path. He clenched his fists, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

No matter how many difficulties and challenges lie ahead, he will move forward bravely and never back down.

"Get out of here!" A low and shocking roar came from the depths of Ling Xiao's throat. Along with this roar, the Five Elements Dragon Soul hidden deep in his body was fully released, as if five living dragons broke out of his body.

The five dragon souls have different shapes, each representing the power of the five elements: the scales of the gold dragon flash with dazzling golden light, like a moving gold mine;

The wood dragon is full of vitality, with luxuriant branches and leaves, as if the essence of the entire forest is concentrated in it;

The water dragon meanders and flows like a rushing river; the fire dragon blazes with blazing flames and rolling heat waves, as if it can burn everything;
The Earth Dragon is heavy and steady, like the guardian of Mother Earth.

The five dragon souls circled and danced around Ling Xiao, protecting him from the terrifying pressure from the spiritual path. Under the protection of the five dragon souls, Ling Xiao felt a little less pressure, but the road ahead was still full of difficulties.

Every step he took seemed to exhaust all his strength. He had to concentrate all his will and strength to barely support himself to move forward. Every step he took was accompanied by his panting and sweat, but he never gave up and always moved forward firmly.

After a full hour, Ling Xiao finally walked ten steps with difficulty. Although these ten steps were short, for him it was like crossing thousands of mountains and rivers. He was only about three feet away from the entrance of the spiritual road, but this distance seemed like a natural chasm that made it difficult for him to cross.

However, at this difficult moment, Ling Xiao's eyes flashed with surprise. He saw a Heavenly Spirit Crystal that was shining with a faint light three meters away.

Although this Heavenly Spirit Crystal was very small, only the size of a fingernail, it exuded a rich spiritual energy. Ling Xiao immediately recognized that this was a fragment of a Heavenly Spirit Crystal. Although it was only a fragment, the energy it contained was enough to equal hundreds of mid-grade spiritual stones.

A strong desire surged in Ling Xiao's heart, and he understood what this fragment of the Heavenly Spirit Crystal meant to him.

It not only provides him with powerful energy support, but can also be his life-saving straw at critical moments.

However, he also knew that it was not easy to obtain this fragment of the Heavenly Spirit Crystal. He had to overcome the difficulties and challenges ahead before he could get it.

"Go on!" Ling Xiao gritted his teeth and reaffirmed his determination.

He took a deep breath and adjusted his breathing and pace. Although the pressure around him was still as surging as the tide, Ling Xiao seemed to have gradually adapted to this environment.

For the next ten feet or so, he walked much faster than before, and each step seemed firm and powerful.

During this period, Ling Xiao's luck seemed to be good, and he picked up a few pieces of Tianling Crystal fragments that were shining with a faint light.

Although these fragments were tiny, the energy they contained was extremely pure, which made Ling Xiao feel delighted. However, he knew that these fragments could not satisfy his needs, and he still had a long way to go and more challenges to face.

Just as Ling Xiao was about to move forward, a dangerous aura suddenly loomed over him. He looked up and saw a monster that looked like a tiger blocking his way.

This monster was made of spiritual energy, without flesh and blood, but it exuded a strong sense of oppression. Its eyes flashed with cold light, as if it could see through all illusions.

Ling Xiao was startled, but soon calmed down. He observed the monster and found that its strength was not very strong, probably only about the first level of the Unresting Realm.

If it were in the outside world, Ling Xiao could easily kill it in an instant. But here, he not only had to face the attack of this monster, but also had to contend with the terrifying pressure around him, which greatly reduced his strength. (End of this chapter)
