Chapter 1635: A Trap Set for Mahayana Monks

hum!

A gray-black spherical area rapidly expanded with him as the center, covering him and the stone mountain behind him.

As soon as those densely-shot annihilation beams entered this "realm of destruction", their speed dropped sharply and their power was weakened layer by layer.

In the end, they were both annihilated in the collision with the omnipresent Dao rhyme of destruction in the field.

Outside the domain, the void collapsed into chaos.

Within the domain, a strange balance is temporarily maintained despite the destruction of one side's rules.

Facing the overwhelming impact of spiritual consciousness, the Mahayana cultivator's eyebrows shone brightly, and a sword of spiritual consciousness that was condensed to the extreme and contained the true meaning of destruction was slashed out fiercely, colliding fiercely with the invisible tsunami!

"laugh--!"

No sound.

But Zhang Xuan and the other two felt as if their souls were pricked by needles, and the pain was so severe that they almost lost consciousness.

That was the aftermath of a battle of souls that was far beyond what they could bear!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Mahayana cultivator moved quickly and finally stepped onto the stone mountain and came before the stone female Taoist corpse.

"Xue'er..."

His voice trembled slightly as he reached out to touch his daughter's petrified cheek.

However, just as his fingertips were about to touch the stone statue, something strange happened again!

The hollow stone-gray eyes of the stone female Taoist corpse suddenly lit up with two strange red lights!

She suddenly raised her hands that were forming seals, and a ray of fossil divine light that was condensed to the extreme shot out without any warning, heading straight for the brow of the Mahayana cultivator who was nearby!

This strike was fast, fierce, and accurate!

It didn't seem like an attack that could be launched by a Taoist corpse that had lost its intelligence. It was more like a carefully planned and long-awaited trap!

The Mahayana monk obviously did not expect that the Taoist corpse transformed by his daughter would launch such a fatal attack on him.

In a hurry, the light of Tao flashed around him, and the power of the realm of destruction contracted inward for defense.

"puff!"

The divine light of the fossil brushed past his forehead, and a strand of hair with a Taoist charm instantly turned into stone powder and dissipated.

The fossil divine light was greatly weakened by the Dao rhyme of destruction, but a trace of it still invaded his sea of ​​consciousness.

The Mahayana cultivator's body suddenly froze, and his face turned pale in an instant.

He stared at the stone statue with red eyes, and finally his eyes revealed deep sorrow and enlightenment.

"So that's how it is... What a vicious plot! Xue'er... my son's remains and resentment have been refined into bait and a killing weapon specifically targeting Mahayana cultivators!"

His voice was hoarse, filled with endless anger and regret.

At this moment, he finally understood why Xue'er's cause and effect were so clear and so strange here.

This was simply a trap to lure him in and then deliver a fatal blow when he was least prepared!

This Eye of the Boundary Membrane not only devours the fusion, but also uses the fallen fusion as bait to hunt down the Mahayana!

"Roar--!"

The Eye of the Membrane let out a roar that shook the entire stronghold.

The giant eye suddenly protruded from the boundary membrane, and the chaotic vortex in the pupil spun wildly. A suction force far stronger than before came and began to pull the branch of the authority of the rules of destruction manifested by the Mahayana cultivator!

It actually wanted to directly devour the great Dao foundation of a Mahayana cultivator!

At the same time, the entire stronghold began to shrink dramatically.

The barrier of the boundary membrane squeezed inwards like a living thing, and countless corpses emerged from all directions, rushing towards the realm of destruction.

The stone female Taoist corpse glowed even brighter red light, and concentrated its attack once again!

The Mahayana monks are in an unprecedented crisis!

In front of him was the Eye of the Boundary Membrane devouring his power, and behind him was a sneak attack from his daughter's transformed killing weapon. He was surrounded by an endless tide of Taoist corpses, and his own soul was also traumatized.

“How could this happen…” Zhang Xuan was shocked.

He knew that if this Mahayana cultivator died here, the three of them would have no chance of survival!

The Mahayana cultivator turned around suddenly and glanced at Zhang Xuan and the other two with a resolute look.

He bit his tongue hard, and sprayed a mouthful of blood containing the source of his life force onto the branch of the power of destruction.

"The true meaning of destruction, eternal silence! Open it... for me!"

Rumble——!

The gray-black branch of power suddenly caught fire, bursting out with an unprecedented destructive divine light!

Wherever the divine light passed, the Taoist corpses that rushed in were turned into ashes, and the boundary membrane barriers that were squeezed in were forcibly stretched open.

Even the devouring power coming from the Eye of the Boundary Membrane was stagnant!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Mahayana monk grabbed the stone female Taoist corpse.

However, a red light flashed from the stone statue, and a powerful repulsive force emerged, making it impossible for him to collect it directly!

"hateful!"

The Mahayana monk roared, knowing that his daughter's remaining soul had been completely polluted and controlled, making it difficult to take it away by force.

He made a prompt decision and gave up collecting them. Instead, he rolled up his sleeves and rolled up the few things that had been revealed by the power explosion at the foot of the stone mountain.

"go!"

He caught up with Zhang Xuan and the other two, with the burning branches of power clearing the way in front, forcibly tearing apart the temporarily stretched boundary membrane barrier, turning into a stream of destructive light, and rushing madly towards the outskirts of the stronghold!

The Eye of the Boundary Membrane roared silently in unwillingness, and thousands of gray beams and terrifying suction forces chased after it again.

However, the Mahayana cultivator did not hesitate to burn the source of his authority, and the power he unleashed was so terrifying that he forcibly tore open a way out of the desperate situation!

Zhang Xuan only felt that the light and shadow in front of his eyes were rapidly retreating, and in his ears was the sharp sound of broken rules.

At the last moment before they were about to completely break out of the stronghold, he seemed to catch a glimpse from the corner of his eye that their fleeing figures were reflected deep in the cold pupils of the Eye of the Membrane, and there seemed to be... a hint of humane mocking smile.

"puff--!"

As soon as he rushed out of the stronghold and returned to the dead and silent void where the combined Taoist shadows were floating, the Mahayana cultivator could no longer hold on.

The Dao light around him dimmed to the extreme, and the shadow of the branch of the power of destruction was instantly retracted into his body, becoming listless.

Obviously, he paid a heavy price to escape.

He glanced at the few things he had snatched from the stronghold, then looked at the border stronghold that was gradually returning to peace, his eyes filled with grief and anger.

"Xue'er..."

He murmured something that eventually turned into a long sigh.

His daughter could not be saved, and even her remains could not be taken out, and he almost lost himself in the accident.

The weirdness and horror of this borderland far exceeded his expectations.

He adjusted his breath and threw the three things in his hand to Zhang Xuan and the other two who were still in shock.

"Thank you for showing me the way. These things are given to you as a reward." His voice was a little weak.

Zhang Xuan and the other two took the precious items thrown to them and quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for your generous gift, Senior!"

The Mahayana cultivator said no more. He took a deep look at the Jedi that had swallowed his daughter. His figure flashed and turned into a dim stream of light, disappearing into the vast void and returning to the Hongmeng Divine Realm.

Zhang Xuan, Zhan Wushuang, and Chief of the Yushen Guards looked at each other, and saw the fear in each other's eyes.

They didn't dare to stay here for long, and immediately controlled their escape light and returned to the Dragon Ridge Temple as quickly as possible.

During this trip to the border area, they witnessed with their own eyes the tremendous power of the rules and authority of the Mahayana cultivators, and also felt the horror and weirdness of the boundary membrane stronghold.

This border outpost has completely transformed from a place of possible opportunity into a terrifying Jedi that must not be easily set foot in.

Return to Broken Sky City.

Zhang Xuan checked the things that the Mahayana monk had fished out from the foot of the stone mountain.

Although the Mahayana cultivator took three things, the one in Zhang Xuan's hand was the rarest.

It turned out to be a Chaos Dao Crystal.

This Chaos Dao Crystal contains a wisp of undifferentiated chaos rules, which can help cultivators comprehend the source of their own Dao and then sort out the veins of the Dao.

"This is a good thing!" Zhang Xuan was overjoyed.

Zhang Xuan now has the vision of the Golden Crow falling to the world in the fusion realm, and has 10 kinds of spiritual and spiritual origins formed by the condensation of 13 kinds of original Dao magical powers.

After practicing the fragments of the Demon Emperor Zangji, one can also connect with the shadow of the cell tree.

There are many hidden cards, but they are also quite complicated.

And this Chaos Dao Crystal can help him comprehend the source of the Dao, and then condense all the Dao rules and magical powers into one.

Zhang Xuan held in his hand the Chaos Dao Crystal which contained the aura of the origin of all Daos.

As soon as it came into contact, his consciousness boomed and was pulled into a wondrous realm that could not be described in words.

This is neither darkness nor light, but a state of chaos.

Here, time has no meaning, space has no boundaries, cause and effect are not yet clear, and the five elements have not evolved.

"This is the starting point of Tao, the most primitive and original form of all rules and magical powers, the source of chaos." Zhang Xuan was shocked.

The thirteen original Dao principles in his body that he had long been familiar with and used now seemed to have returned to the mother body, and began to vibrate and ring slightly, producing a mysterious resonance with the source of chaos.

He knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he immediately focused all his thoughts and began to comprehend each one, tracing back to the source image of the Tao he mastered.

A long river of time is vast and boundless, running through the past and the future.

In the chaos, Zhang Xuan's consciousness seemed to be standing on the shore of a dimension beyond, overlooking this eternally flowing river.

The "source" of the long river is a hazy chaotic mist, which is the origin of time.

The river does not flow evenly.

In a certain section of the river, the water flows rapidly and the waves splash. That is an area where time accelerates and all things are born and die in an instant.

In another section of the river, the water flow is almost stagnant, as if frozen. It is a realm where time is slowed down or even stopped.

There are also some areas where whirlpools appear in the river and the river even flows backwards. These are forbidden areas involving the reversal of time and contain enormous causal backlash forces.

In the river, bubbles of countless worlds are floating up and down, and the light of life of billions of creatures is flashing.

The flickering of each light spot represents the birth and death of a life.

Life is a tiny splash in the river, fleeting in the vast river.

Zhang Xuan saw the growth and decay of plants, the gathering and dispersion of stars, and the rise and fall of cultural heritage.

Everything is swept forward relentlessly by this long river, never looking back.

The long river of time washes away everything, buries everything, and at the same time gives birth to all new beginnings.

"Time flies, and the world changes..."

Facing this long river of time, not only did his understanding of the origin of time deepen, his understanding of the origin of Zixiao's flourishing and withering laws also suddenly deepened.

The glass sand of time now blends with the scene at the source and settles on the cold and majestic riverbed of the long river of time.

On the long river of time, a more complex and magnificent giant net filled with the breath of fate and reincarnation slowly emerged.

This is the causal web, the concrete source of the rules of destiny.

This network is so huge that it is indescribable, and its nodes are as numerous as the grains of sand in the Ganges.

Each node represents a life, an event, or a thought.

Countless slender and tough causal lines, shining with various colors of light, intricately connect these nodes.

Some causal lines are thick and bright, representing a deep bond or a major involvement.

Some are as thin as gossamer, as if they would break at the slightest touch, representing a tenuous connection.

Zhang Xuan saw that a tiny "cause" would be like a stone thrown into a quiet lake, creating ripples, and through the transmission of countless cause and effect lines, it might produce unexpected "results" in the future.

He also saw that some powerful beings tried to sever certain causal lines in their bodies, but often as soon as the old lines were broken, new ones would grow, and they could never escape the net.

His consciousness traced back several causal lines closely related to himself, seeing the bond between him and the Taoist Master Jimao, the line of killing connected to the name Midnight Butcher, and the complex entanglement with the Immortal Gourd Realm, the Dragon Spine Palace, and even the Central Ancestral Vein...

"The law of cause and effect is profound and mysterious; a single move can affect the entire body."

He realized that the powerful causal power was not created out of thin air, but was simply caused by plucking specific threads on this giant web, thus triggering a chain reaction.

The decree on the Heavenly Monument of Cause and Effect is nothing more than the concrete manifestation of this method of manipulation.

Beneath the long river of time lies a gravity source core.

The gravitational source core is an infinitely collapsed point, almost too small to be seen.

If it weren't for Zhang Xuan's understanding of the origin of gravity, he would have no idea that this invisible point was the origin of gravity.

Around this source core, the stars move in their orbits, living beings can stand firmly on the ground, and even the curvature of space itself is closely related to this force.

Beside the long river of time, the shadow of an extremely magical giant tree takes root in chaos and continues to grow.

This is the Space Tree.

This tree has no leaves. Its trunk is the solid and stable main space, while its branches fork and extend towards endless dimensions, representing different spatial levels and void rifts.

Each tiny branch may be connected to a tiny secret realm or a distant star field.

The lines on the bark are the folds and faults in space.

The core of all worlds is a highly condensed manifestation of an important branch node of the tree of space.

Zhang Xuan's consciousness shuttled along the branches, experiencing the extension, folding, twisting and jumping of space.

He saw how he moved between the branches of the tree when he used teleportation.

Causing necrosis of branches and trunks in a certain area is in line with his rhyme of spatial extinction.

The growth of this tree itself represents the expansion and evolution of space.

Through this space tree, his perception of space becomes clearer and more thorough.

In a certain area of ​​the Space Tree, there is a sword domain starry sky formed by countless sword intentions.

Countless sword rules that flash with cold light are like stars dotted in this special sky, turning it into eternal night.

The three swords merged into one, forming a purple-gold long sword, which circled a constellation of eternal night that belonged to it.

Its core sword spirit also attracted several powerful sword stars to cast their light here.

The ultimate power of sword is not only to cut through matter, but also to cut through rules and define the scope of sword rules.

At the end of the Sword Domain Starry Sky, stands a huge ancient summoning gate.

Countless mysterious runes are engraved on the door. These runes are not static, but are constantly flowing, constantly transforming into the contract marks of various ethnic groups.

Zhang Xuan pushed open the door.

Behind the door is deep darkness, hiding countless consciousnesses, powers, and existences, waiting to establish connection with the creatures in front of the door.
