I am a mortal who has achieved enlightenment through burning my secrets

Chapter 211 Battlefield Blood
Before a dark mountain on the fifth level of the Abyss, a teleportation array on a hidden stone platform flashed with black light, and a figure emerged.

This teleportation array is the closest to Bloodflame Mountain, and the person who walked out of the teleportation array was naturally Xiao Wuji.

Looking at the dark mountain in front of him, Xiao Wuji knew that this place must be Bloodflame Mountain.

Although he had never seen this mountain before, the close proximity was enough for him to sense the aura of his own Dharma body.

"Ha, you little Earth Blood dare to imprison my Dharma Body? I'll send you on your way right now!"

Earth Blood was originally a puppet body, and now that he had obtained his "Spiritual Treasure Dharma Body" secret technique, who knows how many Dharma bodies he would create for himself? It's quite normal for one or two to leak out. Therefore, Xiao Wuji never intended to completely destroy him, but only wanted to eliminate his two puppet bodies, rendering him incapable of fighting for a period of time.

Xiao Wuji took out the Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss Halberd, its blade pointing diagonally at the ground, and walked step by step towards the distant mountain peak. As he walked, Xiao Wuji's body became increasingly upright, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a giant hundreds of feet tall, his body wreathed in colorful flames.

Even so, Xiao Wuji's figure still appeared tiny in front of that giant mountain.

As magic power was injected, the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd gradually revealed its sharpness. As Xiao Wuji moved, the halberd left behind dark cracks wherever it passed, making people tremble with fear.

Suddenly, Xiao Wuji flicked the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd in his hand, and a jet-black, jagged wave slashed out, growing wider as it receded into the distance.

The black serrations are not a real attack, but rather spatial rifts created by the attack damaging space.

An attack that can even cleave space itself—let alone a mere mountain, even cultivators at the Integration Stage would have no choice but to avoid its edge.

Ripples silently swept across the giant mountain, as if everything that had just happened was merely an illusion. However, Di Xue, the master of this place, instantly sensed something was amiss. The restrictions he had placed on the mountain had been largely broken in that instant.

"Who dares to be so insolent here!"

The sound of the earth blood, amplified by magic, resembled thunderclaps, intended to intimidate the inexplicably appearing enemy. However, this slight tremor proved to be the final straw that broke the camel's back.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the dark mountain suddenly trembled violently, splitting in two from its waist down. The upper half of the mountain slowly slid down the cut surface and fell...

Rumble…

After a violent earthquake, the Earth Blood burst forth from the mountain in a fit of rage, and upon looking up, it saw the figure of the seven-colored giant.

"Who are you? Why have you destroyed my cave!"

Di Xue was quite certain that there was no such person in the Abyss, and it was impossible to offend him.

"Hahaha, Earth Blood, you really are forgetful! But whether you know it or not is not important, it's enough that I know you've offended me!"

Xiao Wuji didn't intend to explain in detail. His avatar hadn't escaped yet, so he certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to admit it. After all, creating such an avatar was quite troublesome, mainly because he didn't have any other ancient demon bodies at the moment.

However, Xiao Wuji's silence does not mean that Di Xue cannot guess, after all, in the past hundred years, he has only gone out to do this one thing.

"Is that your Dharma body?"

Xiao Wuji was taken aback upon hearing this, then burst into laughter and said:

"Hahaha, since you guessed it, then you might as well accept your fate and die!"

Seeing that Xiao Wuji was about to make a move, Di Xue quickly explained, "Fellow Daoist, I have never harmed your Dharma Body!"

"Hmph! You captured my Dharma body and learned my secret techniques; we are now sworn enemies!"

"Wait, that secret technique was taught to me by your own Dharma body!!"

"Once you die, that Dharma body will be the next one!"

Xiao Wuji's feet trembled, and his body instantly shot out, his halberd slashing horizontally towards the Earth Blood in mid-air.

"Damn madman!"

Di Xue cursed under his breath. Although the secret technique was exquisite, it was far from being worth risking his life for. But since things had come to this, he had no choice but to take action. With a flash, he dodged the horizontal slash of the halberd and suddenly disappeared into the half of Bloodflame Mountain.

"Where are you running to!"

Missing his first strike, Xiao Wuji changed his horizontal slash to a vertical one, simultaneously activating the Great Severing Technique. Ripples of black light emanated from the tip of his halberd, spreading out like a net as he slashed, heading towards Bloodflame Mountain.

The Dharma Body thought Bloodflame Mountain was useful, but he didn't think so. He never intended to refine many Dharma Bodies in the first place. In fact, when Earth Blood guessed that the Dharma Body was his, he even planned to give it up. Rather than going to great lengths to preserve such a Dharma Body, he might as well refine another one himself. After all, Mo Jianli still owed him several Nascent Soul stage demons.

The mountainside crumbled inch by inch, and almost nothing could survive the force of its cutting.

But since Di Xue dared to re-enter this mountain, he must have had the confidence to do so.

Under Xiao Wuji's gaze, a puppet thousands of feet tall soared into the sky and charged towards him.

This puppet was a thousand feet tall, like a mountain. It wore jet-black armor, its arms reached past its knees, its skin was a shimmering purplish-red, and it was covered with scales the size of bowls.

Not only does the head have a single white horn, a tiger's mouth and a lion's nose, but it also has four strange blood-red eyes. Two of them are no different from those of an ordinary person, two are on the sides of the face, and two of them appear on the back of the head.

This thing is the strongest puppet in Di Xue's hands, or rather, it is Di Xue himself.

After all, Di Xue had already taken over this puppet with his primordial spirit, and only a portion of his primordial spirit was truly controlling his other two bodies.

Although his two bodies were also extraordinary, possessing a special physique called "Dual Fiend Demon Body," and had long been transformed into puppets by himself, they were still far inferior to his current puppet body.

His reason for doing this was to obtain the demonic artifact in the demonic tomb, then merge it with the puppet, and then let the puppet's body cultivate a path to heaven.

It must be said that his idea coincided with Xiao Wuji's, but Xiao Wuji had no intention of using this method on himself.

On either side of the puppet's shoulders stood two figures in blood-red robes, their hands clasped behind their backs. These were the Twin Fiends of Earth Blood, and this was the image he presented to the outside world.

All three possessed the strength of the Integration Stage, with the puppet being the strongest among them.

Looking at the puppet that was almost ten times his size, Xiao Wuji was not afraid at all. With a shrug, three heads and six arms appeared. The Golden Dragon Spear and the Immortal Execution Sword were also taken into the hands of the other two pairs of arms.

"kill!"

Xiao Wuji used the "Chasing the Sun" divine power to strike horizontally at the puppet below.

Under the control of the Earth Blood, the puppet swung its arm and slammed it down heavily towards Xiao Wuji.

The Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd struck the puppet's fist, and its terrifying sharpness instantly tore through the puppet's defenses, leaving a wound several meters deep.

However, such a wound was no different from a mosquito bite to a puppet thousands of feet tall. The cutting force that had penetrated deep into it was quickly worn away and could no longer have any effect on it.

At the same time, the other two "Earth Blood" also moved swiftly, attacking Xiao Wuji's head. In his mind, apart from puppets, the head of any creature was its vital point.

The Golden Dragon Spear unleashed a spear flower, trapping both "Earth Blood" within it. As the spear flower shrank, the Earth Blood's space to move became smaller and smaller, eventually forcing it to retreat.

The giant puppet suddenly shuddered, sending Xiao Wuji flying more than a hundred feet away. Then, with a low roar, it rubbed its hands together, and a purple-red axe about ten feet long appeared amidst flashes of blood light.

"You've forced me to reveal all my cards, so I won't let you off today!"

The puppet's true purpose was far more than this, but it was intended to be used to deal with the other demon kings. Now that it had been exposed, his chances of winning had been greatly reduced, which he could not tolerate.

"Feel free to come over here!"
