Start getting stronger by modifying your breathing method

Chapter 554 Delusion [Part 1]

"Unkillable? I don't believe it! Let me see what secrets you hold!"

The white-haired boy had a cold expression.

Reach out and grab it.

They captured Hu Qi directly.

The terrifying will belonging to the white-haired youth descended, spread, and entered Hu Qi's body.

He wanted to perform a soul search on Hu Qi.

If it was before.

Even if he could scrape the memories of a Dao Lord at his peak, it would definitely not be that simple.

But it's different now.

Hu Qi will not die.

However, its strength will be continuously weakened with death.

Given his current state, he is completely powerless to resist this situation.

However, it seems that this invasion of will is too painful.

Hu Qi struggled frantically, trying to break free.

See this scene.

The white-haired youth snorted coldly.

More will poured into Hu Qi's body, heading deep into his soul's sea of ​​consciousness.

however.

He didn't know that his actions were exactly what Hu Qi wanted.

Just as the will was about to invade Hu Qi's soul sea of ​​consciousness.

Hu Qi's heart stirred.

A hint of crimson flashed in his eyes.

A semi-transparent, scarlet panel unfolded before him.

My gaze fell directly on the status section.

-

[Status: △Abnormal]

(Anomaly 1: Essentially weak, eternal state)
(Anomaly 2: Invasion by an unknown will)

The first anomaly is the negative effect of Hu Qi's resurrection using the Ring of Eternity after being repeatedly killed.

Their strength has declined significantly compared to before.

However, this is not a big problem, because the strength can be restored over time.

The second possibility is that the other party's will is invading his body.

Seeing this, Hu Qi did not hesitate.

A thought came to mind.

"Crimson, remove the invading abnormal will!"

hum!
The modified value suddenly decreased by one million points.

However, with Hu Qi's current reserve of modification values, this amount of modification value is nothing at all.

At the same time, in the next instant.

A strange red light suddenly bloomed in the deepest part of Hu Qi's consciousness.

The white-haired youth's will, which had just entered Hu Qi's sea of ​​consciousness, had not yet had time to make any move.

Then I saw that red light bloom.

It was like snow touching a red-hot iron.

It suddenly vaporized.

"--what!"

outside world.

The white-haired boy groaned.

The figure staggered back a step and released the hand that was holding Hu Qi.

He covered his face with his only remaining hand.

Fresh blood seeped out from the seven orifices.

At that moment, he felt the part of his will that he had poured into Hu Qi's body be severed and completely disappeared.

Willpower and consciousness are different.

Will can be seen as the embodiment of the essence of the soul.

This missing part, while unlikely to cause his immediate demise.

But it also caused him considerable trauma.

"Very well! I underestimated you; you actually have such methods!"

After a brief pause, the white-haired boy lowered his hand.

His face, bleeding from all seven orifices, was exposed, and his white eyes were fixed on Hu Qi.

Then, Hu Qi was not given a chance to speak.

--boom!

Raise your hand.

A beam of white light shot out.

It directly obliterated Hu Qi's body.

After realizing that they couldn't use Soul Search to obtain useful information from Hu Qi.

The white-haired youth then used various methods to kill Hu Qi.

In this regard.

Hu Qi didn't even bother to resist.

Given his current declining strength, he is no match for his opponent.

If you can't resist, you can only let the enemy bombard you.

In this process.

The white-haired youth naturally realized the extended resurrection time Hu Qi experienced after each death, as well as his weakened aura.

This is undoubtedly a sign; perhaps if we keep killing, the other party may actually die.

But soon.

After repeatedly killing Hu Qi more than ten times.

Hu Qi's life force had been reduced to its limit, but he was still not dead.

It's just that the resurrection process took longer.

It has been dragging on for more than a decade.

This time, however, Hu Qi, who had just been resurrected, found that he was no longer being killed.

He was imprisoned in a black crystal.

The crystal walls on all sides acted like a barrier, blocking him from view.

Furthermore, he could sense it as time went on.

His range of movement is being gradually reduced.

"You think that just because I can't kill you, I can't do anything to you?"

Outside the huge black crystal.

The white-haired boy stood there, reaching out to touch the surface of the black crystal.

His gaze fell upon Hu Qi, who was gradually emerging from the depths of the crystal, and his expression returned to its previous indifferent state.

The black crystal structure resembles a giant black coffin.

It stands upright on one side of the main hall.

It's as if it was custom-made for Hu Qi.

"This is called the Burial God Void Crystal, which is my unique supernatural power."

Since you can't die, then I'll seal you here forever!

You don't need to try to escape, because once you're sealed inside, you'll never be able to leave!

The White Emperor explained calmly.

As he spoke, he removed his hand from the black crystal coffin.

Has anyone ever told you that you talk too much?

Hu Qi's mind was in turmoil.

In this regard.

The white-haired boy shook his head and said nothing more.

He sat cross-legged to one side.

Inside the black crystal coffin, Hu Qi, who had transformed into the Taiyu Serpent, was roaming and hovering within the limited space.

As a giant serpent symbolizing infinity, his body, which should have been boundless, was now firmly imprisoned in this small space.

With each struggle and twist, the surrounding crystal walls remained unmoved, instead becoming even stronger after absorbing his power.

Hu Qi gradually realized that such futile resistance would only accelerate the shrinking of his space.

So he stopped his futile struggles, and his massive snake body slowly coiled into a ball, seemingly giving up the fight.

However, a very subtle energy fluctuation quietly penetrated the crystal barrier and dissipated outwards.

The white-haired boy keenly noticed this subtle change, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

"Cherish your last bit of freedom."

He said it softly, then closed his eyes.

In order to keep this Lord of Infinity.

He paid a heavy price this time, not to mention having withstood a cross-realm attack from the Boundary Tower.

Especially Hu Qi's stab just now.

It actually severed his entire arm, along with annihilating that part of his spiritual essence.

Such a wound, even for him, could not be healed overnight.

Not to mention, he had even lost a part of his will.

At this moment, his strength has been severely weakened.

Fortunately, as a void creature, it is a favorite among the source of the calamity.

As long as one remains immersed in the Void Sea, even the deepest wounds will eventually heal completely.

……

Boundary Tower, fourteen stories.

Inside the room, in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

Hu Qi, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.

This is not his true form, but rather a clone he left behind to guard the boundary membrane when he left.

At this moment, his physical will has only temporarily shifted here.

"Such an unexpected turn of events."

Hu Qi's face was ashen.

This series of events directly disrupted his original plans.

If it weren't for the talent of the Eternal Ring, he would probably have perished already.

But even though they survived.

Their situation was also extremely bad; their main body was trapped deep in the void sea and could not leave at all.

Fortunately, he retained this clone; otherwise, he would have lost the ability to move around outside.

Now that the main body is trapped, there is almost no hope of escaping.

After all, even the three Dao Fruit Realm Dao Masters working together failed to break the deadlock, so they were clearly no longer reliable.

"The only way is to improve our own strength as soon as possible."

Thinking of this, he was about to make a move when he suddenly felt the world turn around.

The scene before my eyes suddenly shattered and reformed, and when my vision refocused, I found myself in a completely different world.

Before my eyes, countless stars surged and flowed, their silvery light cascading like a waterfall, all flowing into the void.

A lone boat hangs quietly above the Milky Way, its hull gently swaying with the waves, creating ripples of starlight.

This is none other than the first level of the Boundary Tower. Wan Gu Yi, clad in a straw raincoat, sits alone at the bow of the boat, lightly touching the Milky Way with a bamboo pole in his hand.

"Tower Master!"

Hu Qi cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

Upon hearing this, Wan Gu looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Your physical body is unharmed?!"

With his perspective.

It was obvious that the Hu Qi before them was not the real Hu Qi.

As the tower's master, Wan Gu Yi was naturally aware of this.

As an avatar of the Dao Lord, even if the main body perishes, the avatar can still survive for a period of time.

However, in his perception...

The timeline representing the true form of the Infinite Lord behind them still exists and has not disappeared.

This also means that Hu Qi's original body did not perish and is still alive and well.

"Not bad, but it's almost the same as my fall. My true form has been sealed away..."

Hu Qi briefly recounted what had happened.

We'll gloss over some of the details.

He only said that he was sealed away, without mentioning any other reasons.

"God Burial Void Crystal?"

Wan Gu Yi's expression was solemn, and a strange light flickered in his eyes as he looked at Hu Qi.

As the master of the boundary tower.

Having dealt with void creatures for so long, he was naturally aware of the White Emperor's terrifying divine power.

This supernatural power is extremely strange and can be seen as the manifestation of the origin of the Void Sea.

Once sealed inside, the fate is predictable.

It is impossible to open unless someone can destroy the Void Sea.

If that is true.

Compared to death, it would only be more desperate.

Because what awaits Hu Qi is an ending even more terrible than death.

Like an insect frozen in amber, it can never break free.

Hearing Wan Gu Yi's explanation.

Hu Qi also raised his own question.

"Is there really no other way to escape?"

Hu Qi naturally didn't want to be trapped in it forever.

Hear the words.

Wan Gu Yi remained silent for a moment.

"Not bad!"

"It's a pity that I didn't rescue you before! That White Emperor Palace is a separate space-time! Even using the World Tower mark on your body as a medium, it would be extremely difficult to pull you back, otherwise it wouldn't be like this!"

Hu Qi's expression remained normal, revealing no significant emotion.
"Regardless, I still want to thank the Tower Master for his help!"

Hear the words.

Wan Gu Yi gave Hu Qi a deep look.

Suddenly, he said something completely strange.

"Did you notice?"

"I'm just guessing!"

Hu Qi nodded.

Actually, he had already guessed something when he saw the three of them descend upon the White Emperor Palace.

But it's not certain.

That's why he deliberately said he only wanted to thank the tower owner.

Surprisingly, Wan Gu Yi readily admitted this fact.

Within the Boundary Tower, there are three Dao Masters at the Dao Fruit Realm.

The Lord of Time holds sway over the long river of time, the Lord of Cause and Effect overlooks the entanglements of fate, and the Lord of Truth comprehends the origin of all things.

Who would have thought that they actually came from the same source?

They are all one in eternity.

Of course, Hu Qi couldn't tell who the real person was among them.

However, he didn't say much about it.

Instead, the conversation shifted.

"As a member of the Origin Realm, as long as I am able to move, I will do my best to protect my layer of the World Tower."

"I only dare to hope that the Tower Master can bestow upon me the secret cultivation method for breaking through to the Jade Realm."

Hu Qi shared his thoughts.

This is also one of the reasons why his will descended upon this clone.

The purpose was to obtain the breakthrough jade and the method to purify one's own Dao Tree.

He originally intended to obtain it from Yao Yue, the owner of the painting.

Now, he has a better option.

Wan Gu Yi is the strongest master of time.

The secret methods they mastered were naturally more comprehensive.

"This contains my insights into the Dao Lord Realm; you can ponder it on your own!"

Wan Guyan glanced at Hu Qi.

He nodded, not refusing, and finished speaking.

A palm-sized, antique bead appeared in front of Hu Qi.

Hu Qi reached out and took it.

The power of the divine soul probed into it.

My heart moved slightly.

Perhaps it was for compensation for not rescuing Hu Qi, or for other reasons.

This not only includes various secret techniques for breaking through to the Jade Realm, but also the insights of Wan Gu Yi, the Time Dao Lord, into the Dao Lord Realm.

It can be described as extremely precious.

By digesting the information, Hu Qi understood why Wan Gu Yi was able to achieve the Trinity.

All of this is thanks to his understanding of the Great Dao of Time.

He is the Lord of Cause and Effect, the Lord of Truth, but not entirely.

These two are 'themselves' from other timelines, and strictly speaking, they cannot be completely considered as themselves.

After all, their experiences may be completely different; at best, they can only be considered two similar flowers.

These two are merely two individuals who ascended to the Dao Lord realm across countless timelines.

However, they took different paths.

therefore.

Each one embodies the complete Great Dao, yet each possesses its own unique mysteries.

"Thank you, Tower Master!"

Hu Qi put away the beads, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed respectfully!
His gratitude was genuine. Regardless of the other party's reasons, this item was of great help to Hu Qi.

"I have another piece of information here that might be useful to you, Tower Master..."

Hu Qi then told the story of the white-haired boy's injuries.

He didn't elaborate on the reason.

Wan Gu Yi didn't ask any further questions.

After saying that.

Hu Qi then left the place.

Watching Hu Qi's figure disappear.

Wan Gu Yi's face beneath the brim of his straw hat seemed thoughtful.

The information provided by Hu Qi was an unexpected bonus for him.

With his strength, the only person he fears most in the Void Sea is the White Emperor.

As for other void creatures, he was not afraid in a one-on-one fight.

Now that the other side has suffered a blow, there is much more room for maneuver.

"However, the fact that he was able to injure the White Emperor shows that this Lord of Infinity is indeed extraordinary."

Unfortunately, sealed by the Burial God Crystal, there's no possibility of escape, otherwise…

The sound of Wan Gu Yi gradually faded.

His guidance to Hu Qi on the Dao was, in a way, an experiment.

After all, this Lord of Infinity is unfathomable to him, and perhaps he can create miracles.

Unfortunately, the Burial God Void Crystal is a terrifying divine power that can even interfere with the Gate of True Spirits. The opponent is sealed inside, and it is almost impossible for him to escape.

shook his head.

He looked down at the Milky Way below, his eyes seemingly reflecting countless rivers of time, constantly deducing possible paths to survival in the Origin Realm.

Compared to relying on this infinite Lord to create miracles.

He prefers to find a solution himself.

The White Emperor is now severely injured.

That might be something worth trying.

……

The surrounding scenery changed.

Hu Qi returned to the fourteenth floor of the tower.

Recall the information in your mind.

This was a pleasant surprise.

The information about each realm of the Dao Lord is extremely detailed.

This greatly helped his later promotion.

Before that, though.

He has other things to do.

Thinking of this, Hu Qi flipped his palm, and a mysterious rune appeared.

As a clone that guards the boundary membrane, it naturally retains a backup of the boundary tower's mark.

The moment his divine sense touched the mark, his figure vanished from the spot.

……

The seventh floor, the place where the master of the painting, Yao Yue, is stationed.

Blue sky and white clouds, peach blossoms still in full bloom, petals falling in profusion.

It still looks the same as before.

Outside that pavilion.

Yao Yue was already standing there waiting.

Hu Qi's figure appeared.

Yao Yue's gaze lingered on Hu Qi for a moment.

It seems that he noticed something.

A hint of surprise appeared on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Hu, what is this...?"

"This is just an avatar of mine left behind in the World Tower."

Hu Qi was straightforward.

"I've come here to ask Fellow Daoist Yao if the Dao Crystals you promised earlier still stand?"
