Start getting stronger by modifying your breathing method

Chapter 610 The Core Area [Part Six]

The blond youth was none other than Hu Qi, who was preparing to kill Chongmingzi and then leave the Northern Heaven Domain.

Unexpectedly, he stumbled upon these two guys plotting against him.

To reach his level of existence.

I have a vague sense of connection to everything that concerns me.

However, it's possible that these two were too weak to pose a significant threat to him, and since his physical body was within the mental realm of this physical body, the sensation wasn't very strong.

"Amitabha Buddha, since your bloodlust is so deep, why not lay down your butcher's knife, take refuge in Buddha, and go to the Pure Land together?"

Xinjue lowered his gaze and clasped his hands together.

He chanted Buddhist mantras in a calm tone, yet it seemed to carry some strange power that could erode the mind.

If one encounters someone with weaker cultivation, upon hearing this, one feels a sudden chaos in one's mind, and all distracting thoughts recede like the tide, leaving only a desolate Zen state, leading one to only want to sever worldly ties and spend one's life with the green lamp.

However, this had no effect on Hu Qi.

"Heh, convert to Buddhism? We'll have to see if you have the ability to convert me!"

Hu Qi chuckled.

The last word had barely left his lips when his hand transformed into a sharp claw, grabbing at the two of them in mid-air!
——Bah!

With a piercing shriek that tore through eardrums, the top floor of the attic exploded with a deafening roar!

A massive, illusory claw, seemingly forged from gold, pierced through the ruins, descending like a living golden-winged roc, and swooped down upon them.

See this scene.

The two people standing to the side had different expressions.

However, Shigeakiko did not make a move, but instead stepped aside.

Because he knew that the other party was protected by the Heavenly Dao.

There's no way he could possibly make a move against him.

The only one present who could make a move was Xin Jue.

Xin Jue felt the Buddha's light emanating from behind his head again, like three golden full moons, instantly enveloping his entire body.

Although I don't know how the other party found this place, I have a feeling that is very clear.

This person's cultivation level has far exceeded his previous expectations.

The other party must have already entered the realm of Dao Lord.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to feel such a heavy sense of oppression.

However, this is precisely one of the reasons he came here.

Subduing the opponent is one thing, but more importantly, the opponent's strength is increasing at a rate that is too fast.

The other party must have obtained some kind of opportunity, which might be helpful to him.

Thinking of this, Xin Jue did not hesitate and directly used his last trump card.

In an instant, the halo behind him reappeared, and magnified several times over.

Within the Buddha's light wheel, three illusory figures draped in robes vaguely appeared: one a youth, one a middle-aged man, and one an elderly man.

The faces of the three monks were exactly the same as those of Xinjue.

With three incarnations superimposed.

Xin Jue's original cultivation level rose rapidly, breaking through the Dao Lord level in the blink of an eye, and only stopped when it reached a level comparable to the third realm of Dao Fruit, Wonderful Jade.

With a wave of his hand, a golden swastika symbol appeared in his palm, meeting the sharp golden eagle claw that was attacking him!

Bang!
The instant the two attacks collided.

Xin Jue's previously calm expression suddenly changed.

The golden swastika Buddhist seal shattered inch by inch, like glass.

An irresistible force swept outwards.

The entire pavilion exploded in response, and the array and restrictions set up on it failed to provide any protection whatsoever.

The entire mountain peak collapsed halfway down under this attack!

"You...your strength!"

He felt blood flowing from his seven orifices, and his arm was instantly pulverized.

With a single blow, he was severely injured and on the verge of death.

The opponent's strength exceeded his expectations; this was no ordinary Dao Master.

The other party has most likely already entered the Dao Fruit realm.

"Could this person also be some old monster who used a secret technique to rebuild his cultivation?!"

Without thinking twice, he turned around and tried to escape.

However, it was too late, and the surrounding world suddenly went dark.

Xin Jue's figure froze, then exploded with a bang.

The Buddhist disciple of Leiyun Temple, Xinjue, who had cultivated three lifetimes and whose strength was comparable to the third realm of Dao Lord, the Miaoyu Realm, died, and then his body disappeared in the next moment.

All that remained was a faint, inhuman scream that dissipated into the air.

It was as if he had encountered something terrifying before he died.

Chongmingzi, who was standing to the side, took in the whole scene and his expression changed drastically.

With his sharp eyesight, he naturally saw it clearly just now.

Just now, Xin Jue's body was instantly torn apart by a giant claw that appeared out of nowhere. Then, a crack opened in the void, completely swallowing his remains.

Originally, he thought that no matter how strong Mo Ming was, he would not be a match for Xin Jue.

Unexpectedly, Xin Jue's strength was so weak, all show and no substance, and he died tragically on the spot so quickly.

Without hesitation, Chongmingzi turned to leave.

However, in the next instant, another giant claw slashed down from the sky, accompanied by a piercing buzzing sound, pressing down directly on his head, causing the surrounding space to tremble.

"--court death!"

Even a clay figure has some temper, let alone Chongmingzi, who fought his way to the position of Daoist and personally founded the Swordless Pavilion.

Knowing that things were beyond repair, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he made a ruthless move.

He raised his hand and struck out with a palm, which collided violently with the incoming giant claw.

next moment.

The blue and red swords behind him responded with a long chant and suddenly transformed into a dragon and a phoenix.

The blue dragon soared, and the fire phoenix cried out, carrying a chilling sword intent as it pounced straight at Hu Qi!

However, just as the sword approached within ten meters of Hu Qi, it suddenly stopped and was frozen in mid-air.

It wasn't Hu Qi who made the move, but rather the Dao seal on his palm that emitted a faint light.

A moment.

The two swords that attacked seemed to be struck by lightning; they trembled suddenly, and their light dimmed, as if they had been severely injured.

Chongmingzi, who was in the distance, also trembled and spat out a mouthful of pale golden blood.

His aura immediately weakened.

"Damn it! It's a backlash from Heaven!"

His face was grim, and a rare look of fear flashed deep in his eyes.

As someone who had once served as a priest, Shigeaki was all too familiar with this situation.

This is a backlash from the Heavenly Dao caused by forcibly attacking the Dao Child.

He once used the rule that one could not attack the Dao Child to force Lingyu Mountain and Baigu Plain to back down.

But unexpectedly, the tables have turned, and today it is his turn to feel the backlash from the power of Heaven.

In just a moment, a crack appeared in the flawless Dao Fruit within his body, shaking his foundation.

He couldn't imagine what would happen if it happened again.

Thinking of this, he turned around and prepared to flee the place.

If we can't fight, can't we at least run away?

However, just as he had fled a distance, Hu Qi suddenly closed in and threw a punch.

--boom!

--boom!

……

The violent shockwave left Chongmingzi's clothes stained with blood and his hair disheveled; he no longer possessed the ethereal and otherworldly air he once had.

Having learned his lesson from the backlash of the Heavenly Dao's power, Chongmingzi dared not retaliate and could only dodge in a sorry state or forcefully withstand Hu Qi's attacks.

Under normal circumstances, no matter how outstanding Ren Daozi's talent was, it would be almost impossible for him to threaten a Dao Fruit Realm expert.

His cultivation period is still short, and even if he is strong, he has only just entered the Dao Fruit stage. Even if he stands still and lets him attack, he will hardly cause much damage.

But Hu Qi was different.

Even though Chongmingzi was at the Dao Fruit Realm, his eyes bulged out and his bones shattered when he took the blow head-on. He almost died on the spot.

It was a monstrous force so tyrannical that it was impossible to resist.

During this period, Chongmingzi did attempt to escape.

But he soon discovered a despairing truth.

Because this space has been shrouded in a layer of domain since some unknown time.

He didn't even notice.

Even with his Dao Fruit realm abilities, he couldn't break free.

This also sent a chill down his spine.

Now he only has two paths before him.

First, he was forced into a passive defense, barely managing to withstand a few blows before being brutally beaten to death by Hu Qi.

Secondly, if he retaliates, he will suffer the backlash of the Heavenly Dao's power, resulting in the annihilation of his soul and spirit. "Even in death, I will drag you down with me!"

Chongmingzi's face twisted, and a resolute look flashed in his eyes.

He would rather die together with his opponent than let the other party escape unscathed.

However, he soon realized that he had been oversimplifying things.

"Ah!!! I'm not reconciled... I'm not reconciled at all!!"

In just a few breaths, screams tore through the sky.

The power of Heaven's Dao backfired, severely injuring him once again.

Hu Qi slammed down with his fist, and his body exploded inch by inch, being completely devoured in the blink of an eye, leaving not even a trace.

Chongmingzi, the founder of Wujian Pavilion who had ruled for decades and witnessed countless vicissitudes, has passed away!
Moreover, he died in an extremely humiliating way.

……

After dealing with the two.

Hu Qi withdrew his hand and did not linger.

Turn around and leave.

The reason he didn't immediately kill Chongmingzi was because...

This was to test the function of this seal.

The result did not disappoint him.

……

Not long after, Wujian Pavilion announced a one-century closure of its mountain without warning, prohibiting all its disciples from leaving.

The cultivation world of the Northern Heaven Domain all believed that this move was a strategy to temporarily avoid the limelight due to the fall of Jianzi and the rise of Daozi of Lingyu Mountain.

No one knew that this was because the founding patriarch, who was stationed deep within the sect, had already passed away.

Compared to the other two sects, the Swordless Pavilion has a very shallow foundation.

The news that only one Dao Fruit cultivator had died has spread.

The consequences were predictable; the Swordless Pavilion was destined for destruction.

However, no secret can be kept forever.

Moreover, there are bound to be spies among the three sects who gather intelligence on each other.

Not long after, news of Chongmingzi's death spread.

After receiving this news.

From Baigu Plain and Lingyu Mountain, they directly attacked Wujian Pavilion.

Both are inherently demonic, so there's no need to find a reason.

Wujian Pavilion, one of the last three sects to rise to prominence, was destroyed in less than a few months under the siege of the other two sects.

……

Hu Qi paid little attention to what happened afterward.

It is still a long time before the Zixiao Palace opens its doors for sermons.

However, Hu Qi had no intention of staying in the Northern Heaven Domain any longer.

He planned to travel around to see if he could find anything else related to the True Spirit level.

If all else fails, we can venture into the core area to explore.

This is one of the reasons why he wanted to acquire the identity of the Dao Child in advance.

The area bounded by mountains and sea is almost limitless.

Because it was broken.

In addition, there is the existence of the Void Sea.

It would be almost impossible for ordinary life forms to cross the island world.

However, this was nothing to Hu Qi.

……

Time flies, and three hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In a primitive and desolate island world.

This is a lush and dense primeval forest.

The air was thick and humid, filled with the dual scents of decaying and blooming plants.

Giant cycads and horsetails form dense thickets, resembling giant umbrellas.

The thick tree trunks are covered with a thick layer of moss, and the gnarled branches stretch high into the sky, spreading out a dark green, almost opaque canopy at a height of tens of meters.

Sunlight is a luxury here; only a few stubborn beams of light pierce through the gaps in the leaves like searchlights, drawing clear paths of light in the steaming air, and finally casting dappled patterns on the ground covered with fallen leaves and ferns.

at this time.

Seemingly sensing something, the insects clinging to the leaves and bushes, as well as the strange crawling creatures on the ground, all fled into the distance.

A few seconds later.

Boom!
Boom!
A deep, penetrating hum sounded.

Immediately following was a rhythmic, muffled thunderous vibration.

As the earth drew nearer, it trembled slightly.

The water puddles inside the leaves also rippled outwards.

Look around.

The towering trees began to shake violently and unnaturally, their thick trunks seemingly pushed to the sides by invisible hands.

Large swaths of lush ferns lay fallen.

The first thing to emerge from the forest was its extremely long neck, resembling a giant python.

The skin on her neck was grayish-green with a grid-like texture, blending cleverly with the light and shadow in the forest.

It gracefully and slowly sliced ​​through the air, its relatively small head held high at the top, its indifferent eyes scanning the open area.

Then, its massive forelimbs, as large as bridge piers, stepped out and landed on the ground, leaving a deep, cracked footprint.

Its enormous claws sank deep into the damp soil, and then, its even larger body, like a mobile fortress, slowly pushed aside the last curtain of vines and leaves, revealing itself completely to the sunlight.

The overall height is nearly 100 meters.

This is a dinosaur that looks like a two-columnar dinosaur.

At this moment, a handsome blond young man was sitting on the top of the dinosaur's head.

He held in his hand a palm-sized piece of bone that shimmered with a luster.

This person's appearance and attire seemed out of place in this world.

This person was none other than Hu Qi, who had traveled here.

His appearance has not changed at all in three hundred years.

"It's about time we left!"

Hu Qi squeezed the bone fragment in his hand, which contained a powerful secret technique that was enough to make ordinary Dao Lords drool. The fragment shattered and turned into powder.

He looked up at the primitive environment that resembled the Jurassic era of Earth.

A strange light flashed in his eyes.

Three hundred years is not a short time.

However, it is placed within the boundaries of mountains and seas.

Even at Hu Qi's speed, he only managed to travel through the three major heavenly domains of the South, West, and East, as well as some of the larger island worlds around them.

The worldviews in this land are diverse and varied.

There are civilizations dominated by technology, worlds that continue the legacy of ancient dynasties, continents with modern cities, and exotic lands where magic and fantasy intertwine.

There were even primitive eras like this one, where dinosaurs roamed freely, and so on, each evolving its own civilization.

During this process, Hu Qi also discovered many secret realms and remnants of ancient ruins.

However, these opportunities, which would have been enough for even true gods and Dao lords to fight tooth and nail in the past, were of little use to him.

However, these opportunities were of little use.

However, he also gained some information.

However, this requires traveling to the core area.

"His-"

At that moment, a low hissing sound pulled Hu Qi back to reality.

He looked down at the giant beast beneath him, which resembled a two-columnar dragon. It blinked its enormous eyes as if it were sentient, and his reflection seemed to appear in its huge pupils, revealing a clear pleading look.

"I can't take you with me."

Hu Qi shook his head and chuckled.

However, he changed the subject and added.

"However, it's fate that you gave me a ride."

Today I bestow upon you a great opportunity; how far you go in the future, and whether you can shed this beastly body, depends on your own understanding.

After saying that, he raised his hand and gently covered the other person's cold forehead scales.

As his palm touched it, a warm, spiritual light flew from his fingertips and disappeared into the giant beast's massive body.

Do it all.

Hu Qi stood tall without stopping.

With a flap of its wings, its figure transformed into a streak of light, almost invisible to the naked eye, piercing through the clouds and disappearing into the world.

Only the giant beast remained, raising its head to gaze at the sky, a glint of light flashing in its eyes, as if it had gained some understanding.
