#575 - Post-disaster despair
After a fierce and brutal battle lasting several hours, Jun Wuxie initially saw little hope, but he never gave up and never wavered.
He knew what he was facing and how he should proceed.
Life or death?
But this was not a multiple-choice question; he had to use all his strength and wisdom to overcome difficulties and kill the enemy.
On countless occasions, on the verge of life and death, in countless extreme battles, he broke through himself and comprehended the 【Art of Extreme Slaughter】, relying on this extreme killing technique to carve out a path of hope.
There was light ahead, he saw it, and he wanted to walk towards the light and bask in the sunshine.
He could not fall and face eternal darkness.
Therefore, no matter how difficult, even if his body was riddled with holes by lightning spears, even if the bones in his body had long been shattered in the prolonged battle, even if his internal organs were already broken and tattered.
His will remained as strong as steel, his body stood firm, and his fighting spirit was always boiling.
The 【Art of Extreme Slaughter】 consumed a significant amount of lifeblood.
In his current state, each use of it meant overdrafting his life, activating it at the cost of burning his lifespan.
This time, the two humanoid tribulation lightning bolts that he had weakened were finally shattered into a sky full of lightning in the collision with the 【Art of Extreme Slaughter】, disappearing into the world.
Finally, only seven of the nine powerful enemies remained!
He was one step closer to the finish line of victory!
The seven humanoid tribulation lightning bolts were blasted away in the fierce collision with the 【Art of Extreme Slaughter】.
At the same time, the eight avatars of the 【Art of Extreme Slaughter】 also collapsed.
Jun Wuxie's true body flew backward, his riddled body covered in cracks, and he was almost disintegrating.
He took out the jar, drank the semi-holy blood, and his tottering body gasped violently, burning his life essence to gain the strength to launch the next attack.
Just then, he suddenly felt as if eyes were watching him.
The gaze came from above the sky.
Looking up, in the tribulation clouds, there was a huge eye, a single eye, with a cold gaze, filled with runes, and with just one glance, it made people feel cold all over, giving people a sense of insignificance in the face of the vast world.
Looking at that eye, he felt as if he saw endless nothingness, as if he saw the vast universe, as if he saw all things in the world arising and ceasing, saw life and death, and saw the ruthlessness and indifference of all living beings like ants.
That eye just stared at him indifferently.
That eye seemed to be judging him, already determining his life and death, and writing down the ending.
"The Dao of Heaven?"
As he spoke, golden blood flowed from his mouth, but his eyes were filled with soaring killing intent in an instant.
With a buzzing sound!
The Dragon Cry Battle Spear appeared in his hand, and he threw it forcefully towards the sky.
Clang!
The blue-golden light of the battle spear illuminated thousands of miles, and the entire battle spear transformed into a dragon shape, roaring through the nine heavens!
The blue dragon swayed its body and rushed towards the eye in the tribulation clouds.
However, before the blue dragon could rush into the tribulation clouds, that terrifying eye shot out a beam of blazing white light, shattering the blue dragon.
The blue dragon roared in anger, its body collapsing, and in the dazzling blue light, a battle spear fell straight down from the sky, causing the entire earth to tremble violently a few times.
"Kill!"
Jun Wuxie withdrew his gaze, ignored the Eye of the Dao of Heaven, and his golden blood energy instantly boiled, rushing towards the seven humanoid tribulation lightning bolts, and once again used the 【Art of Extreme Slaughter】.
……
While he was fighting fiercely with the humanoid tribulation lightning, a figure in white, fairer than snow, quietly appeared somewhere behind him.
Her white clothes fluttered in the wind, her black hair danced, and although she was standing there, she gave people a strange feeling, as if she did not belong to this time and space, as if she was manifested across endless realms.
She calmly looked at the eye in the tribulation clouds.
That terrifying eye trembled slightly.
"If he succeeds in transcending the tribulation, fulfill your duty and give him the reward that the Three Realms Heavenly Tribulation deserves, and I will spare you from death."
The white-clothed woman's lips did not move, but her voice was transmitted to the owner of the eye.
That terrifying giant eye slowly closed and then disappeared into the tribulation clouds.
……
Time slowly passed.
The white-clothed woman stood there quietly, her eyes, which seemed to contain the starlight of endless universes, watched Jun Wuxie fight with the humanoid tribulation lightning.
Finally, the last humanoid tribulation lightning was blasted into lightning and dissipated into the world.
Jun Wuxie's body, which had long reached its limit, could no longer hold on and fell straight down from the sky.
His body was already broken, only forcibly wrapped in lifeblood, so as not to disintegrate.
His body was covered in wounds, and the cracked openings were shocking. The broken bones were sharp, piercing through flesh and exposing themselves to the air.
He felt his consciousness dimming, the scene in his eyes was very blurred, and he was about to lose consciousness.
However, he could not lose consciousness, absolutely not!
The Heavenly Tribulation had passed, but the crisis had not passed!
As soon as the tribulation clouds dissipated, the middle Heavenly Position Half-Saint who was waiting for the opportunity to kill him would definitely give him a fatal blow!
He could not die, he could not die here!
He still had many things to do, many people to protect, and great revenge to be taken!
Most importantly, Yao'er's weak soul was still waiting for him to help her reshape her body!
The deepest persistence and obsession in his heart locked his last trace of sobriety.
At this moment, he felt that the speed of his body falling suddenly slowed down, and then he fell into someone's arms.
This embrace was very soft, and a faint fragrance drilled into his nose.
He was very familiar with this scent, and he instantly regained some clarity, trying to open his eyes and seeing a face wearing a bronze mask, and those eyes that contained endless stars, bright but incomparably deep.
His hand slowly and forcefully raised up and reached for the bronze mask on her face.
The touch was the coldness of metal, but what flowed in his heart was warmth.
"Hahaha…cough cough cough!"
He laughed, choking out large mouthfuls of blood, laughing very brightly.
Ye Qingxue's eyes trembled slightly.
She reached out her hand and sucked towards the sky.
In the center of the slowly dissipating tribulation clouds, a lightning pool appeared at some unknown time, filled with liquid flashing with silver lightning, like a condensed river coming from the nine heavens and gathering in her palm.
"This is tribulation lightning liquid, the reward from the Dao of Heaven that can only be obtained after transcending the Three Realms Heavenly Tribulation, containing a lot of the world's origin and the origin of lightning."
A two-inch-high transparent crystal bottle appeared out of thin air in her hand, and she put the tribulation lightning liquid into the bottle and placed it in Jun Wuxie's hand.
"Next, all things need you to face them yourself, unless you encounter a force beyond what this world allows, otherwise I will not help you to repel the enemy."
After Ye Qingxue finished speaking, she gently placed Jun Wuxie's body on the ground and disappeared into thin air.
As soon as she disappeared, the tribulation clouds in the sky quickly dissipated.
Jun Wuxie didn't have time to think, he clenched the tribulation lightning liquid in his hand, and with a thought, he summoned Lan Lan, using all his strength to climb onto Lan Lan's back.
"Lan Lan, go quickly!"
Boom!
Almost at the same time, a huge true energy palm covered the sky and suppressed it, and under its coverage, the void was completely destroyed.
Jun Wuxie immediately activated the Guardian Shield, and Lan Lan went away like a streamer, rushing out of its coverage before the palm fell.
Even so, Jun Wuxie was still shaken by the power of the palm from a distance, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood, and his cracked body was already on the verge of disintegration!
"Want to leave?" The voice of the middle Heavenly Position Half-Saint from the Tianjing Sect resounded through the eight wastelands, and a ray of Hunyuan light flashed, and he appeared where Jun Wuxie was just now, striding to chase after him: "In front of my Tianming, how can you, a mere Saint Sect, escape?"
Tianming walked in the high sky, the mountains and rivers under his feet changed, his eyes locked on the blue light flying in front, his palms spread out, and he blasted forward.
The middle Heavenly Position Half-Saint, the attack distance is very terrifying, and he can easily kill the enemy thousands of miles away.
That palm was very huge, covering large areas of mountains, and suppressed down in the air.
Rumble!
Lan Lan and Jun Wuxie were covered, and the thousand miles of mountains and rivers shook violently.
However, the palm was not able to completely fall down, but was held up by the mountain peaks.
The Dragon Ridge Mountains are covered with fields, and the mountains and rivers here are difficult to destroy, and even some trees are protected by the field.
Tianming's palm fell, unable to collapse the mountains.
Lan Lan carried Jun Wuxie and ran at high speed between the mountains.
He controlled the Guardian Shield to wrap himself and Lan Lan, but the middle Heavenly Position Half-Saint was too terrifying, even if the palm was not actually hit, and it was a large-scale attack, it still made his body condition extremely bad and he couldn't bear it.
His flesh made a puff sound, blood spurted out, almost tearing apart, and Lan Lan was also shaken and overflowed with blood from its mouth.
"Lan Lan, quickly lower your altitude and run to the dense mountains!"
Jun Wuxie felt that his consciousness was becoming more and more blurred, and his physical condition was extremely bad, and he would surely die if this continued.
He did not hesitate and immediately activated the invisibility talisman, and the figures of Lan Lan and him disappeared into the mountains.
"Invisibility Talisman?"
Tianming sneered, the Zifu Saint Pupil in his hand was brightly lit with purple light, and mysterious runes overflowed, merging into his palm and adding to his eyes, making his eyes have purple pupil runes.
With just one glance, he saw through the invisibility technique.
"Boy, I want to see where you can run to!"
Tianming unfolded his steps and chased after him, but he was shocked and even annoyed in his heart.
He is a middle Heavenly Position Half-Saint, how fast is his speed?
But that kid's mount, that speed is simply unbelievable.
He saw mysterious blue runes flashing on the four feet of that mount, and it was those runes that made its speed so fast that it subverted cognition.
However, even though it was only equivalent to a beast below the Saint Realm, its speed actually reached tens of thousands of times the speed of sound, making it difficult for him to close the distance for a time!
“Lan Lan……”
Jun Wuxie turned his head to look at the relentless Zhong Tianwei Half-Saint Tianming, and then looked at Lan Lan, whose horn on its forehead was constantly flashing.
He could feel that Lan Lan was burning its own life essence.
It used this method to achieve unimaginable speed, but this method could not last long, and it was too damaging to Lan Lan itself.
“No, I have to recover some physical strength as soon as possible!”
Jun Wuxie madly drank Half-Saint blood, while frantically refining the Spiritual Milk of Life, repairing the injuries to his flesh and recovering his depleted energy and spirit.
“Boy, I like to see you in despair and fear, fleeing for your life in a miserable state!”
Tianming’s voice resounded through the mountains and rivers, transmitted from afar.
At the same time, a palm of True Energy once again descended to suppress and kill.
Rumble!
The earth shook and the mountains swayed!
Although Lan Lan rushed out, it was still shaken by the power of the palm from a distance, blood overflowing from the corner of its mouth, while Jun Wuxie spat out blood wildly.
“Like to play the game of a mouse being chased by a cat? Today, this seat will play with you properly!”
During the chase, Tianming flicked his sleeve, and a wisp of Primal Chaos True Energy gathered into a sharp blade, cutting through the sky and slashing towards Lan Lan and Jun Wuxie, who were speeding between the mountains.
Lan Lan dodged the attack with a flash, and the blade light bombarded the ground, causing the earth protected by the field to vibrate violently, like a major earthquake, with dust filling the sky.
“Oh, boy, ‘a stray dog’ is the most apt description for you at this moment.”
Tianming’s feet flew across the mountains and rivers, waving his sleeves forward, and countless Primal Chaos blades howled, killing towards Jun Wuxie and Lan Lan, who were running between the mountains.
Lan Lan tried its best to dodge, dodging more than a dozen terrifying blade lights of killing power in succession, but was still hit by one of them.
With a pfft sound.
Part of the power of the blade light penetrated the Shield of Protection, slashing at Jun Wuxie and Lan Lan.
Instantly, golden blood splattered.
Jun Wuxie’s entire waist was almost cut in half, and the huge wound caused his damaged internal organs to flow out.
He gritted his teeth and endured the excruciating pain, forcibly stuffing his internal organs back in.
Lan Lan’s body was also a bloody mess, and scarlet blood dyed its blue fur blood-red. It staggered and almost fell.
“Lan Lan, stop, return!”
Jun Wuxie covered the wound on his waist, which was difficult to heal, as the power of the Half-Saint was frantically destroying his vitality, making it impossible for him to stop the bleeding in a short time.
In the current situation, he must get rid of Tianming, otherwise he would really die here!
Lan Lan had the same thought as him, suddenly stopped, and turned to rush towards Tianming.
Tianming was chasing, and never expected that the target would turn around and rush towards him, and he couldn’t help but be stunned, and a sneer appeared on his face.
It seemed that this kid knew that he couldn’t escape anyway, so he was going to break the pot and fight him desperately.
Fighting desperately is simply a joke!
He, Tianming, was a Zhong Tianwei Half-Saint, and the Saint Sect was nothing but an ant to him!
“This seat once said that I want you to pull out the bones from your body one by one!”
Tianming stretched out his hand and suppressed forward, his palm covering all directions.
Darkness descended!
At the moment when Tianming’s palm suppressed, the ice-blue light in Lan Lan’s eyes was dazzling and dazzling, and instantly radiated out.
In an instant, the sneer on Tianming’s face solidified.
He only felt a flash of white light in front of him, and then he couldn’t see anything.
Not only that, even his divine sense, perception, and everything else disappeared.
He felt like he had fallen into an endless abyss, falling into eternal darkness.
At the same time, Lan Lan once again erupted with extreme speed, tens of thousands of times the speed of sound, like a blue aurora passing over the vast mountains, instantly traveling tens of thousands of miles.
Jun Wuxie took out the Emptiness Illusion Stone, activated its power, and the power of the void enveloped him and Lan Lan, and they instantly appeared thousands of miles away, and then disappeared, and appeared again thousands of miles away.
In just one second, he used the Emptiness Illusion Stone to teleport in the void more than a dozen times, widening the distance from Tianming, who was chasing them, by nearly 100,000 miles.
But he didn’t stop, and was still frantically urging the power of the Emptiness Illusion Stone.
Two seconds later, Tianming, who had lost his vision and perception, recovered, his face extremely gloomy.
At this moment, Jun Wuxie was already 200,000 miles away from him, appearing in an unknown area of the Dragon Ridge Mountains.
This place was somewhat like a hilly area, with very low mountains all around, but between the mountains was a swamp-like area, with mud everywhere, black and red in color, exuding a trace of baleful aura and bloody smell.
“Lan Lan, continue to go deeper, we are not safe yet!”
Jun Wuxie gasped for breath, enduring the severe pain, and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Lan whimpered and fell to the ground, a large amount of blood overflowing from its wound.
“Lan Lan!”
He hurriedly left its body and checked its injuries.
It was seriously injured, half of its waist was cut open by that blow, and its life essence was burned too much, and it was already extremely weak at this moment.
He quickly poured a large amount of Spiritual Milk of Life into Lan Lan and took it back into his body.
Then, he restrained all his aura, ran forward for a distance, and directly burrowed into the swamp mud exuding a bloody smell, hiding himself.
He knew very well that a Zhong Tianwei Half-Saint was not so easy to get rid of.
Although they were 200,000 miles away, this distance was too close for Tianming.
If it weren’t for the special nature of the Dragon Ridge Mountains, where divine sense perception was greatly restricted, he had no doubt that Tianming would appear in front of him in an instant.
The aura left behind during the escape all the way before would definitely not escape Tianming’s perception.
About a few breaths of time passed.
Tianming’s figure appeared in this area.
His eyes were indifferent, he scanned this place, his face gloomy.
He came along the aura, but when he got here, the aura of that kid actually disappeared?
He saw a large amount of fresh blood in a certain place in the swamp.
Obviously, that kid and his war pet had been here, but how could they suddenly disappear, and even the slightest aura could not be sensed?
