A life of clearness

Chapter 554: Bloody Battlefield

"As the dignified King Qin Guang, isn't it a loss of face to pick on juniors?" A strange voice came out of its mouth, and the words sounded familiar to the black-robed man with deep blood.

He Guzi, who was originally in high spirits, quickly "calmed down", but this silence revealed a strong sense of foreboding.

The crackling sound of bones growing continuously came from the red robe, and in just three breaths, it grew from half a person's height to an adult's size. The hand that stretched out from the sleeve was hairy and grasped the king's seal hanging in front of it.

There were several gaps on the edge of the white mask worn by He Guzi, one of which ran across the bridge of his nose.

"Haha, my guess was right, it's you." Although the man in black robe, King Qin Guang, was still lurking deep in the blood and energy and had not shown up, he seemed to have opened up a chatterbox and started reminiscing about the past with the other party.

"Your new disciple is pretty good. He has already reached the ninth level of spiritual transformation at such a young age. But I didn't expect you to be so cruel. You don't care about the safety of your disciple at all and actually let its real body come... Tsk, do you think that with your current strength, you can let it return safely under my hands?"

"Why not?" it asked slowly.

"Chakravartin, you are still so arrogant. How much strength can you exert when you possess it? Even with the King's Seal, the limit is to be able to reach the combat power of your clone, right?"

King Qin Guang had a clear plan in mind. Even if the King of the Wheel was stronger than him now, so what? He was the original fighting force, and had been immersed in blood and energy for many years. The strength he could exert was definitely higher than that of the King of the Wheel who was possessed by He Guzi. He was sure that he could kill the King of the Wheel, and by then, even the King of the Wheel Seal would be in his pocket.

"Who said that I came here to fight you?"

"Hmm?" The voice from deep within the blood stopped abruptly, and after a while, King Qin Guang sighed, "I can actually hear you speak like this in my lifetime... Avoiding battle is not the nature of a madman like you. Interesting, interesting. Among them, you are the first one to find this place. It seems that they don't know my whereabouts yet?"

"It's just a coincidence." The Wheel King whispered, "I searched the soul of Er Shuai from Zuihuawu in Qinghang Realm before. Only then did I realize that you were missing for so many years and it turned out that you were in the Shiwan Mountains..."

"Zuihuawu," King Qin Guang recalled, "I thought she was so lucky when I let her escape last time, huh."

"You have been here for so many years. In my opinion, it is not that you do not want to come out, but that you cannot come out." The Wheel King said slowly, "We are both the Kings of the Ten Palaces of Hell, and have worked together for billions of years. I will help you."

"Help me? Is this something a madman would say? It seems that I have been here for too long, and even a madman like you has changed. But there is no need. You can hardly protect yourself now, let alone help me."

"how you said that?"

King Qin Guang laughed softly, "You will know soon. I advise you to return to your original self as soon as possible... Of course, you may never be able to return like me. Then you and I can still be companions."

After saying this, no more sound came from the depths of the blood.

The Wheel King didn't care. He was a madman but not a fool. Since he had let He Guzi come here in person and even possessed him to enter this mysterious place, he must have his own plans in mind.

"You are the most cowardly one among the Ten Kings of Hell." He said with disdain, "Even if this body can only exert the combat power of my clone, you are too greedy to come and fight."

However, the Wheel King knew that the strength of his current body was still too weak and he needed to replenish it. The white-skinned monkeys that were constantly produced in the blood and energy were natural food, but in comparison, Yu Rong, the Qinghang Realm's genius, was even more coveted by him...

He casually flicked his sleeves, and tens of thousands of white monkeys were contained in his sleeves. Countless screams came from his black sleeves, and then they returned to silence.

For He Guzi, this bloody energy was dangerous everywhere, but for the Wheel King, it was as easy as strolling in his own back garden. Wherever he passed, bloody energy surged, and all the strange white monkeys fell into his sleeves and were swallowed up instantly. It's not that they didn't have the instinct to escape, but they couldn't escape from the Wheel King's palm.

"Yu Rong has the Dao Yun of the Resurrection Class, so he shouldn't die so soon." The Wheel King thought to himself as he continued to devour as he flew. He moved very quickly, but this mysterious place was surprisingly vast. He was very sure that he was not going back, but the blood energy spread endlessly.

He slowly stopped flying.

There were originally only a few cuts on the pure white mask from past battles, but now, a black line as thick as a little finger appeared on the forehead.

The Chakravartin touched the mask with his fingers, and ridiculously tried to use the force of his fingers to rub away the abrupt pattern. However, the pattern was indeed grown from the mask itself.

He sighed softly, "As expected, this is the place where Heaven Devouring Daoist Master fell. It is indeed extraordinary."

……

"The robes you are wearing are very extraordinary. It seems that your origins are greater than I thought. However," King Qin Guang said in a long tone, "even if you have the robes to protect you, you won't be able to last long. Five days at most, or three days at least?"

In his opinion, Rong Qing was a little too arrogant.

Rong Qing's eyelashes trembled when she heard this, but she did not open her eyes and remained sitting cross-legged.

After she entered the blood lake, she did not linger on the surface like Gu Zi, but dived quickly under the guidance of the world's number one. The deeper she went, the more pressure increased exponentially, and the risk factor also increased exponentially.

The white-skinned monkeys are considered normal-looking, and there are more bizarre and even disgusting creatures everywhere. You never know when a terrifying monster will appear, and you don't know how many monsters are watching in secret.

However, the real horror is the blood qi itself. The blood qi on the surface is very "gentle", and its influence on the monks is subtle. The deeper you go, the more violent the blood qi becomes. No matter how powerful a monk is, he cannot withstand the erosion and... transformation of the blood qi!
The magic weapons and talismans for protection had no effect at all, and they could only watch the blood seep in. Rong Qing was only calm on the surface at that time. Even with the best protection in the world, she was actually sweating hard. This place was strange and inexplicable. The origin of Tao became blurred here. It seemed that there was another set of rules here.

Just as a trace of blood licked the corner of Rong Qing's clothes, it was shocked to find that it was "stuck"! The strands of blood were all imprinted on the pure white robes, instantly dyeing the white clothes into blood. They were frustrated, but Rong Qing was surprised and happy.

Fu Xiu, who had been lying on Rong Qing's shoulder and had been lazily doing nothing, finally came to life this time, happily wandering around the robes, devouring the captured blood. The tentacles that had been hanging down like a phoenix tail even extended out of the robes, actively capturing the blood that was constantly being used towards Rong Qing.

"This robe was given by the sword master. I haven't seen anything special about it for so many years. It turns out that it is used here." Rong Qing sent a message to Tianxia No. 1, "I can clearly feel that it is getting stronger by absorbing these blood and qi." This robe has been with Rong Qing since she entered Taoism, but it has always performed mediocrely. Although many knowledgeable people told Rong Qing that this robe is listed in the Heavenly Clothes Chart, it must be special. But she has never had a clue how to show this special feature and how to make the robe really grow. Today, by chance, it was accidentally upgraded and grown. How could Rong Qing not be happy.

"It is much stronger." Number One Under Heaven agreed. He was more concerned about the efficiency of the robe's absorption. The stronger the robe, the more efficient it is in absorbing blood and energy. As the amount of blood and energy absorbed increases, the stronger the robe becomes, forming a positive cycle. "Based on this efficiency, you can try to go down another 10,000 kilometers."

Rong Qing nodded, she thought so too.

The scabbard separated and reassembled to form a long sword in front, which pierced a long passage for Rong Qing, and she followed with the sword in her hand. While going down the passage, she kept chopping at the arms, tentacles, suction cups, branches and other strange creatures that stretched out.

"At this depth, I'm afraid only those at the peak of the Void Realm can barely survive." Number One Under Heaven gave a rough assessment.

Rong Qing stayed here for half a day, the robe devoured the blood and energy like a glutton that had been hungry for countless years and finally had a full meal. Although this was true... When Rong Qing found that this depth had not reached the limit of the robe's swallowing, she decisively dived again without the world's number one saying anything.

Dive 100,000 kilometers!

"The strength here is such that one needs to experience the Five Decays to barely survive." Number One Under Heaven said with a smile, "The Pearl has been covered in dust for many years, but it has finally made it out of this mess. It's still devouring, which means it hasn't reached saturation yet. Once it has completely absorbed and digested it, I'm afraid its strength will be as strong as the robes used by the Taoist master. In this way, you can be considered to have a real protective magic weapon."

However, Rong Qing was not as happy as she was at the beginning.

Of course, she was extremely surprised at first, but now Rong Qing had come to her senses and slowly figured out the secret behind it.

"What are you thinking about?" Number One Under Heaven was a little puzzled.

She answered slowly, "I think the sword masters must attach great importance to this place. I am still unclear about what opportunities there are here. But the opportunities here allowed the sword masters to make corresponding preparations when I entered the Dao..." Rong Qing smiled, but sighed in her heart, "It seems that this is a great fortune."

"Is that so?" Number One Under Heaven didn't say anything, but just asked, "Do you want to go down again?"

"of course."

We have come this far, there is no point in retreating halfway.

Although everything was calculated by the sword masters, which made Rong Qing unhappy and even uneasy, in general, the sword masters and she had the same goal. In this case, Rong Qing would not be hypocritical and refuse the good fortune that came to her door.

She dived again.

One hundred thousand kilometers, two hundred thousand kilometers, three hundred thousand kilometers... until it was seven or eight light years away from the surface, the pressure reached an extremely terrifying degree and then only fluctuated up and down. Even if Rong Qing went deeper, there was no drastic change.

The flow of time became even slower.

"Have we not reached the core of the secret realm yet? How long will it take to reach the end?" Rong Qing felt more and more uneasy. She had never encountered such a large secret realm before. There was nothing but blood and various strange creatures in the blood.

Number One Under Heaven laughed and said, "It's not surprising that you would have such an idea. You have been practicing in the realm all the way, from the Mother Realm at the beginning to the Qinghang Realm later. Even the training in the secret realm was basically in the realm. If you have wandered in the universe, you will know that this distance is nothing."

He added: "The world's number one bow once drifted in the turbulence of space. It was common for it to drift hundreds of millions of light years in just a hundred years. After all, the various channels and nodes are intricately intertwined in the turbulence. Now Beitian has convenient transportation and many gates. It is very convenient for you to travel between the secret realm and the spirit realm, and you will not feel how far the journey is."

If you just rely on yourself to fly slowly, it will take a long time to fly.

While the spiritual consciousness was communicating, Rong Qing raised his hand and chopped vertically, and the sword intent cleanly cut off a piece of the long tongue that was ejected.

This sword seemed to be free and easy, but in fact, it was done with all her strength, integrating many insights into the origin of the Dao. Rong Qing had now reached the depth that only Dao masters could reach. If it weren't for the secret help of the number one in the world, the endless powerful monsters in the blood would have devoured her long ago without leaving any residue.

But the pressure on her still didn't ease much.

The blood finally penetrated the robes and seeped in when she was completely unprepared...

Even just a trace of it was enough to create a terrifying wave in her body!
The extremely fierce blood energy used flesh and blood as its base, and reproduced crazily. It reproduced so fast that even Hua Xian Dao Yun had to admit defeat!

Incredibly fast.

Rong Qing immediately understood the crux of the problem: she relied on the advantage of the robe to go down all the way, and the depth was far beyond her strength. Once the blood energy broke through the protection of the robe, she would not be able to resist this level of blood energy.

This time, what was faster than Rong Qing's thinking was the instinctive reaction of his body: the Heaven-Swallowing Forbidden Technique!
The Heaven-Swallowing Forbidden Technique swallowed everything. Dense buds grew on all the internal organs, using the body as a battlefield for the tug-of-war.

The blood and qi that continuously penetrated into Rong Qing's body continued to infect cells everywhere during the process of replication and reproduction, and the Heaven-Swallowing Forbidden Technique followed exactly the same path, continuously devouring the blood and qi to proliferate granulation tissue. The difference was that the Heaven-Swallowing Forbidden Technique assimilated the blood and qi into a part of Rong Qing, using her genetic information as a template.

Rong Qing gritted her teeth and meditated on the spot. Her body had already become a battlefield, so she could only circulate the Dao rhyme of Hua Xian to support the Heaven-Swallowing Forbidden Technique, and under the strong pressure of blood and energy, she once again practiced the Heaven-Swallowing Forbidden Technique wholeheartedly, hoping to break through as soon as possible, so that she could have a chance to turn defeat into victory.

When King Qin Guang found Rong Qing through the abnormal flow of blood and qi, he saw Rong Qing sitting cross-legged and motionless. He was very familiar with the other party's state.

"I have already been crowned as the King of the Underworld, but I still couldn't resist. How long can a mere incarnation of a spirit last even if she has some adventures? While she still has her intelligence, I can seize her insights. But..."

King Qin Guang still couldn't fully see through this woman. The vague fear in his heart made him, who was cautious by nature, hesitate and hesitate even at this great opportunity.
