Witch Wind

Chapter 312: Facing the Master (Part )

A terrifying aura surged.

Void, the laws of space change.

At this moment, the great principles of heaven and earth and the rhythm of laws that Xing Tianli was familiar with were shattered by layers of continuous and dense strange fluctuations with a frequency so high that it made people despair.

The road suddenly turned into beans in a giant mill and was easily crushed. Then, under the influence of an unfathomable force, it was as if brine was dripped into soy milk, causing the liquid soy milk to transform into ancient tofu.

The road has changed.

A terrible upheaval.

Under the twisted and mutated avenue, Xing Tianli and Zizhi only felt a tightness in their chests, and every cell in their bodies felt a desperate suffocation - they couldn't breathe, their blood couldn't flow, and their hearts couldn't beat...

As living beings of flesh and blood, their most basic mode of survival has been tampered with.

A body of flesh and blood, and the survival mode of a body of flesh and blood, should not exist within the range of the twisted and mutated avenue - Xing Tianli even realized that his body, starting from the bone marrow, was undergoing strange mutations.

Metallization.

Tiny metal crystals emerged from deep within Xing Tianli's bone marrow, and as his blood essence surged, they quickly spread throughout his body. His entire body was turning into metal. His meridians, nerves, and blood vessels were turning into some kind of flexible crystals.

It has to be admitted that the functions of these deformed meridians, blood vessels and nerves are much stronger than those of the flesh and blood body.

For example, if the speed at which the physiological signals of Xing Tianli's nerves are transmitted in his nerves is one...his nerve crystallization and distortion has not yet been completed, but the speed at which his physiological signals are transmitted in his nerves has already become ten!

And as those tiny metal particles continued to multiply in his bone marrow, his blood, his muscles, his tendons, and bones, Xing Tianli could clearly feel that his physical strength had increased tremendously from what it was originally... In just a few breaths, his physical strength had soared three times from the already exaggerated level!
The premise for this huge improvement is that the total volume of the mutated metal particles in Xing Tianli's body only accounts for less than one thousandth of his body.

Xing Tianli looked at the huge metal head in horror.

Zizhi was the same, looking at the other person with a distorted and unbelievable face.

There is no doubt that the changes in the laws of the Great Dao came directly from a terrifying existence at a level above Taiyi - he actually shattered the Great Dao directly, and then used the fragments of the Great Dao as raw materials to carry out terrible secondary processing on the laws of the Great Dao.

This world is no longer suitable for the survival of flesh and blood creatures.

Only those mechanical war puppets, those chariots, fighter planes, and warships can become more powerful and evolve more quickly under the cover of such an avenue, evolving to an incredible level.

This is common sense.

Xing Tianli nodded slowly - this made sense.

Metal life, their reaction speed, their nerve signals, their physical strength, their pure power, of course, far exceeds that of flesh and blood. If Xing Tianli allowed this terrible deformation to complete, with his Taiyi realm foundation, it is entirely possible that his physical strength would increase a thousand times, or even ten thousand times.

Therefore, the realm of this mechanical civilization cannot be simply divided according to the realm familiar to Taoist monks.

If Xing Tianli allowed his flesh and blood body to transform into a mechanical body, his physical strength would soar ten thousand times, and he would almost dare to stand in front of a Daluo realm being and show off a little. But isn't his true realm of Taoism still Taiyi?

So, this kind of mechanical life, can actually fight across realms?
Makes sense.

It's like the billion-ton fusion bomb they made. When it's not exploding, it's just a lump of metal. Even the most ordinary mortal craftsmen can make it "according to the rules."

What kind of Taoist realm do those mortal craftsmen have?

But a billion-ton fusion bomb, let alone a casual immortal, a human immortal, or a terrestrial immortal, even a true celestial immortal, if hit by one, would either have his soul shattered, or at best his body would collapse, forcing him to find ways to rebuild his body, or even possess another body or be reborn?

Xing Tianli finally got a glimpse of the horror of mechanical civilization.

With a loud shout, the blood of Pangu surged in Xing Tianli's body, and the bronze tripods in his life points, representing the 360 ​​origins of the avenues, all emitted green divine light. His own Dao rhyme began to wash over his body again and again, destroying all the metal particles in his body, turning them into strange Dao rhyme, which was swallowed and absorbed by the bronze tripods.

Stones from other mountains can attack jade.

Xing Tianli was absolutely unwilling to transform his physical body into mechanical life.

However, relying on the strength of mechanical life forms to complete and upgrade one's own cultivation, and laying new and heavy foundation stones on one's own path of cultivation, this is something that any orthodox practitioner with aspirations will never refuse.

This metal head directly injected the most profound and mysterious part of the essence of the great Dao into Xing Tianli's body.

This kind of benefit that came right to the doorstep was simply restrained by "A Stick of Incense in the Furnace of Heaven and Earth"... Countless metal particles were melted, countless avenue fragments were analyzed, and Xing Tianli emitted chaotic witch light all over his body. Chaotic clouds of pythons and dragons were either wrapped around his limbs, or hanging on his earlobes, or wrapped around his waist. He even stepped on two dragons, which kept twisting and winding, making high-pitched roars.

In the immortal soul of Xing Tianli, large divine patterns squirmed and swam out from the classics left by the ancient bronze sword.

Thus, one after another, the novel, mysterious and unique great manuals, like flowing water, gradually merged into Xing Tianli's immortal soul - Xing Tianli suddenly realized that the original owners of the ancient bronze sword had already come into contact with these metal lives in the vast void, and a tragic conflict had even broken out.

And a certain saint also displayed his great magical powers, capturing alive many of the most powerful metal life forms. He ground them up bit by bit, analyzed the fundamental principles of their existence, and conducted a comprehensive study of their life forms and physical composition.

The extremely complex divine patterns surged into his immortal soul. The obscure and difficult to understand mysteries of the great Dao, which were like a heavenly book, were imprinted bit by bit in the depths of Xing Tianli's immortal soul. As the power of his immortal soul continued to surge, he analyzed it with difficulty, understood it with great difficulty, and integrated it with extraordinary difficulty.

A very clear and ancient voice, as if far away in the horizon, yet close to the heart. At first it sounds as if it is high above, with a sense of detachment from the Supreme Being who has forgotten all feelings. But when you listen carefully it is gentle and generous, like the warm and peaceful voice of one's own parents, slowly and leisurely sounding in Xing Tianli's immortal soul.

"Pangu created the world, and the witches and the people left the world."

"Measured by these five metal monsters, there must be Pangu, the origin."

"The principle of heaven and earth is that all things have the same origin and all things return to one... His Pangu, my Pangu, are all Pangu... I am Pangu, what is the difference? There is nothing else, the Tao has two sides, we are insignificant mayflies, we cannot see its full picture."

“Since this is the case, I will transform the world into my flesh, and use the world as a furnace to gather the essence of thousands of Pangu, melt them into one furnace, and forge them into one… Pangu is my body, my function, my magical power, and my wonderful method… My primordial spirit is a stick of incense between heaven and earth, the foundation, the mark of the way, the incense, and the inheritance.”

"The furnace has a myriad of forms, and it fully demonstrates the wonders of the evolution of the laws of nature."

"I am the only incense stick between heaven and earth, everlasting and immortal in nature. No matter what kind of furnace it is, it can melt wood, stone, gold, iron, precious jade, or pearls. I can use it, drive it, control it, or make it... But as long as my descendants continue to burn incense, they will never die."

A bolt of lightning flashed above the purple palace of Xing Tianli's spiritual platform.

His mind suddenly became clear and transparent.

His Taiyi Immortal Soul slowly stood up on the spiritual platform purple palace, and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times in all directions: "I, the younger generation disciple, kowtow to thank the saint for his kindness and for passing on this supreme avenue."

After reading the fundamental law of "A Stick of Incense in the Furnace of Heaven and Earth", Xing Tianli finally understood His true origins.

This is the supreme mystery that even the saints are still exploring.

Saint, what is a saint?
Such a saint actually called himself a "tiny mayfly" who could not fully comprehend the mysteries of the Great Dao. Xing Tianli was sweating profusely. His heart of Dao was polished by such fear and caution, becoming more and more clean, more crystal clear, more agile, and more clever.

He stood quietly in the air, allowing the distorted mechanical avenues from all directions to pour into his body, madly trying to tamper with the foundation of his physical existence - even, waves of strange avenue fluctuations continuously bombarded his spiritual platform purple palace, trying to tamper with his Taiyi Immortal Soul, and turn it into the same type of 'electronic soul' as those mechanical life forms.

Three hundred and sixty-nine large tripods shook together, witch light shot up into the sky, and witch fire swirled.

In the Taiyi Immortal Soul, the wonderful music of the sage continued to rise, and countless mysteries of the great Dao fell like flowers from the sky. They were broken into pieces and dissolved bit by bit, and directly merged into Xing Tianli's Taiyi Immortal Soul.

The mechanical avenues pouring in from the outside world could no longer pose a fundamental threat to Xing Tianli's body and soul. His blood essence became heavier and more refined.

His body became harder and stronger.

His immortal soul became more and more smart and lively.

His eyes were gushing with azure divine light as he stared straight at the huge metal head, his heart filled with joy and gratitude - good man, good man, you have brought so many new and wonderful ways, enough to greatly improve Xing Tianli's cultivation, almost doubling his accumulated cultivation.

Of course, he is just a 'Taiyi'. Even if his Taoism is doubled, it is not a big achievement.

The real fortune was that a certain saint, using unknown means, directly crossed dimensions, time, space, and cause and effect, and preached to Xing Tianli in person - it could even be said that this was like an epiphany, and he directly instilled his own understanding of some supreme principles into Xing Tianli.

Somewhere.

A magnificent mysterious light appeared before Xing Tianli's eyes.

In the boundless light, a lonely and proud figure wearing a bright red Taoist robe and surrounded by four-colored sword beams flashed before his eyes. Xing Tianli felt an inexplicable palpitation and his whole body suddenly felt cold.

The figure surrounded by the mysterious light was surrounded by endless chaos, limitless darkness, and incalculable strange and dim light in all directions... Each one was filled with despairing terror, and each one contained immeasurable danger.

There were even a few colors of light. When Xing Tianli just looked at them, it was as if he was facing the end of the world, the end of everything - those rays of light, the way they existed, were "catastrophe".

They are the fate of everything.

Living beings.

ethnic groups.

civilization.

stars.

universe.

Avenue.

Even their existence itself, and even the concept of "existence"... they are the "calamity" of all the above.

Xing Tianli took a deep breath.

He looked at Zizhi who was standing next to him - uh, Xing Tianli was stunned for a moment. He had the teachings of a saint, and it could even be said that he was directly protected by the saint. Therefore, the broken avenue and distorted laws of the metal head not only did not pose any threat to him, but instead gave him great fortune.

But Zizhi was in a mess.

His skin had turned into a layer of shiny dark golden iron. Under the iron, countless cold black and gray fine lines emerged layer by layer, outlining large and small rectangles, squares, and various harmonious and pleasing-looking prisms under his skin. At first glance, it looked like the chip that Xing Tianli was not familiar with in his previous life.

Even Zizhi's eyes were filled with a hint of mechanical scarlet electronic light. In his eyes, there were even strands of extremely thin green information flows, sliding down bit by bit very slowly.

Xing Tianli took a deep breath and put one hand on Zizhi's shoulder.

The life point in the palm of his hand, the bronze tripod vibrated, and the raging mechanical avenue in Zizhi's body was absorbed by Xing Tianli with the fundamental method of "One Stick of Incense in the Furnace of Heaven and Earth" like flowing water. Zizhi let out a rapid gasp, and he gasped frantically twice. The abnormal characteristics on his body quickly dissipated, and large patches of cold sweat suddenly appeared in his pores.

"We are no match for this guy." Zizhi looked back at the frozen world passage and hissed, "It's over. Why can't I change my bad habits? The son of a rich man should not sit in the hall, why would I follow you here for no reason?"

Zizhi was really a little panicked.

This metal head is really too strong, so strong that they cannot resist it.

Shattering the Great Dao, bending the laws, this kind of thing... Before today, Zizhi had never seen it with his own eyes, let alone even heard of it. How could a pure great wizard like him, who was too lazy to comprehend the Great Dao and was used to using physical violence and swinging a large copper axe to chop people, resist such a terrifying supreme power?

The metal head laughed wildly: "Interesting, there seems to be some extremely wonderful treasure in your body, which offsets my strength... Well, you cultivators are so annoying. Some low-powered ants, some scattered immortals and earthly immortals, rely on the treasures bestowed by some teachers and ancestors to make me extremely embarrassed."

"Ah, let me think about it. About 8,000 standard timers ago, two little guys who claimed to be the true descendants of Zixiao Palace, who had not even stepped into the immortal path and were just practicing the spirit return to the void, relied on a Haotian mirror and actually broke it...***..."

The metal head emitted a sharp electronic sound, a long number of over fifteen hundred syllables.

More than 1,500 syllables were completed in the blink of an eye, and the metal head smiled: "That guy is very experienced, and the strength of his army is more than ten thousand times that of our batch of main brains... Hey, he was destroyed by two such insignificant old guys, the 'Grotto', one of his three main bodies."

"The computing power has been lost by one third, the combat power has been lost by one third, and the control over the army under my command has been lost by more than one third... Ha, ha, ha." The metal head laughed happily: "It's really interesting, isn't it?"

"Ahem, let's be serious. You cultivators just like to rely on one or two treasures to provoke us, the great beings that you can't resist at all." The metal head sighed: "Now, your retreat has been cut off by me. The surrounding 30,000 light-year void has been distorted and controlled by me. You have no way to escape."

"You can resist my gift for a short time... but how long can you hold out?"

The metal head stared at Xing Tianli: "Come on, give up resistance and join my legion... I can give you a very high sequence. Wow, your body is really perfect. You will definitely become my vanguard general in attacking cities and capturing strongholds."

"Oh, so you can even become a qualified spy commander?"

"The reproduction of flesh and blood creatures is the most boring and worthless thing... But your physique, your appearance, and your temperament can definitely charm countless people of the opposite sex... Sending you into their tribes, letting you destroy their defenses and provoke internal strife among them, is really interesting."

The metal head stared at Xing Tianli and said, "Judging from your facial features, you are descendants of Kyushu, right? We have thoroughly analyzed your "The Art of War"... isn't it very interesting?"

Xing Tianli and Zizhi had a toothache.

What the hell?

Have these metal lives ever analyzed "The Art of War"?
"It's not just The Art of War, there are many... worthless but interesting things..." The metal head laughed crazily, for example: "Raise a cup to the bright moon, and your shadow and I will become three... worthless nonsense, but very beautiful... Worthless, the moon? It's just a satellite, and satellites are tiny things that we can destroy with a snap of our fingers."

"Give up resistance, accept my gift, and become my subordinate." The metal head put away his smile: "I have wasted too much time on you... This inefficient behavior is meaningless and worthless... You can't resist us, because we understand you more deeply than you think!"

Xing Tianli exhaled heavily: "So, you who has read The Art of War, guess how I can escape from your hands?"

Countless information flashed through the huge eyes of the metal head. He shook his head gently: "Impossible. According to my calculations, the probability of your escape is infinitely close to zero... Unless a certain existence personally rescues you. However, according to my understanding of Him, this is impossible."

Xing Tianli smiled and then waved his hand.

Below him, a square rock layer that was a thousand miles long, wide and a hundred miles thick was pulled up with a bang. Xing Tianli let out a long roar, waved his sleeves, and used the magical power of "mediating fate". The magic power in his body burned rapidly, and the sky was full of golden light. In the blink of an eye, this thick rock layer turned into a golden brick.

"Respected elder, you should take action now, right? You have seen our value!"

At the moment the gold brick took shape, a trace of extreme fear and despair suddenly appeared on the metal head. The huge head, which was hundreds of thousands of miles in size, was annihilated with a "puff".

There was a flash of light and shadow around Xing Tianli and Zizhi.

A moment later, they came to a bright world. There was nothing in all directions except for a giant tree that towered over the sky.
