Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 73: Black ball lightning! So what is the purpose of the red gold orb?
The girl who exists at the end of the time and space channel is as perfect as a great work of art that can transcend time and space and exist forever.

Silver-white hair like a waterfall, like clouds rolling...

Crystal clear, snow-white skin, more delicate than mutton-fat jade...

The black flames burned on her skin, but not only did they not burn her skin, but instead made her look even more holy, noble, and breathtaking.

"Um……"

The girl's eyes were full of confusion.

She scooped up a wisp of pitch-black flame, raised her blue eyes, and looked back through the passage of time, at each of her "selves"...

A heart-wrenching distress appeared in her eyes. Yes, she felt sorry for those 'little white-haired girls'...

Actually.

The white-haired little girls in the space-time channel are not just little girls, they are broken space-time.

In that broken space and time, every little girl with white hair is looking for a way out, but they are losers...

Having their arms, half of their faces, and half of their bodies burned off meant that their attempts had failed. Their failure became a miniature, reflected in the passage of time.

In fact, there are countless failed timelines that were burned to ashes, but those failures are not even qualified to appear in the space-time channel...

The girl's eyes are deep.

She is not actually in the future, she does not exist.

But countless white-haired little girls gritted their teeth and rushed towards the gates of hell one after another!!!
With flames burning in their bodies and wounds all over their bodies, they were searching for a way out in the desperate time and space.

Even if my body is burned to ashes, I will take that tiny step forward! !

They tried to find a possible way.

Their bodies were burned by the black flames until only ashes remained, piled up like a desert.

Their dead bodies were boundless and formed an ocean.

Unable to find a way out, the little girls struggled mightily in the sea of ​​their own corpses...

Tens of thousands of times, hundreds of thousands of times, millions of times... They were swallowed up by the failed world, leaving only broken shells.

Finally, after failing billions of times, the little girls used their willpower to lift up a young girl! !

Each piece of unwavering faith turned into an arm, lifting the little girl across the ocean of time and sending her to the other side.

Is there no road?

But the faith spreads into the future!!

The fragile little girl finally broke free from her constraints and grew into a young woman.

The space-time channel finally connected to the girl.

The girl's body is no longer burned by the black flames!

on the contrary!

She adapted to the destructive power!

Her skin began to absorb the eternal flames!
Wisps of black flames were devoured by her, and her skin blossomed with a crystalline light... The light warmed the entire space-time tunnel.

The little girls who had failed and become mere reflections slowly opened their eyes and looked at the girl with the same gentle gaze...

In countless times and spaces, countless pairs of eyes meet gently.

The world is blue.

The girl was naked, with her long silver hair flying in the wind. There was no trace of the burning flames on her body. Her body was so perfect.

Strands of healing light floated out from the girls' chests, flying across the space-time channel. The burned bodies of the little girls healed and grew new flesh and blood at a speed visible to the naked eye, like dead trees coming back to life.

The healing light flows back against the passage of time, healing each white-haired little girl.

Finally, the healing light flowed back to the real Zhu Yuheng.

Under her clothes, her empty body began to rebuild its internal organs, blood vessels, meridians, limbs and bones...

"It seems to have succeeded..."

Xu Ran noticed that Zhu Yuheng's body was undergoing nirvana and was being reshaped, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But just when life began to revive—suddenly!
An extremely strange ball of lightning appeared out of nowhere!
The ball lightning came so strangely, without any sign at all. No one knew where it came from. It seemed to be everywhere, as if it came from the past and the future, like a ghost. Nothing could stop it, so that it ignored the walls of the training room and the distance in space.

Appeared out of thin air in the training room.

It is pitch black all over, so black that it emits light and is suffocating. Even a strand of electricity flowing out is enough to destroy the world. It is an existence with endless destructive energy.

It seemed to be the spokesperson of the Supreme Will, and with boundless destructive intent, it struck towards Xu Ran and Zhu Yuheng, intending to wipe them out.

"What the hell?"

Xu Ran's hair all stood up.

"How terrifying! It's a thousand times more terrifying than when I faced a god!"

Although he was terrified, Xu Ran never backed down. He knew that the black lightning's goal was to blow him to pieces, so he drew his sword at the speed of light and slashed at the black lightning with [Super Explosive Slash].

I’m going to chop you to death!

Xu Ran stared, his heart trembling slightly.

He found that he couldn't find anything to cut off. The pitch-black ball of lightning, like the embodiment of rules, was not affected by the [Super Explosive Slash] at all. It brought up a black electric current like a thread and pounced on Xu Ran and Zhu Yuheng.

Xu Ran's pupils shrank sharply, and his mind raced.

But at this moment.

Behind Xu Ran, the plump auntie screamed and fell to the ground: "Little brat...you are too scary, aren't you? Why do you only attract deadly dangers?"

She dared to guarantee that even the fear she felt before when facing the resentful god was only one millionth of what she felt now!
Facing the resentful god, she still had a shred of resistance in her heart. But faced with the pitch-black ball of lightning, the current in her brain was completely cut off, her mind went blank, and all the strength in her body was drained away. It was as if she had been tied up and toyed with for seven days and seven nights - she was completely broken.

Xu Ran didn't even look back.

Hu Niu looked over with her golden eyes, and the golden tower flew up, trying to hit the black ball of lightning.

Xu Ran: “…”

Hu Niu is a real tiger, why is she just attacking right away?
"Stop it! Let me do it! You have to protect Sister Yuheng."

Xu Ran stopped Hu Niu from doing that. Hu Niu said "oh" and the golden tower quickly covered Zhu Yuheng.

At the critical moment.

Xu Ran stood in front of Hu Niu and Zhu Yuheng.

What exactly is this pitch-black lightning? It seems to be trying to stop me, to stop Zhu Yuheng?

Do I have anything to counter it?

"Air wall!"

A wall of air blocked Xu Ran and Zhu Yuheng.

however……

The pitch-black lightning simply ignored the air wall.

Useless?
Xu Ran's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly thought of something: "Red Gold Orb, come at me!"

Xu Ran didn't care about anything and held the red gold orb in his palm and threw it hard towards the dark lightning.

At the critical moment, you must not be timid with the Red Gold Orb, the only super-god-level treasure.

Show your courage, you red-gold pearl!
Go help me kill the ball of black lightning!
The red-gold orb flew through the air at high speed and instantly collided with the pitch-black lightning.

Ok?
It actually blocked it?
Suddenly, in mid-air, the scarlet-gold gem burst into a red "flame", which burned fiercely and occupied half of the training room.

The black ball of lightning crackled with electricity and made a rumbling sound.

It is angry, and it is about to explode with even more terrifying destructive energy.

but……

The red "flame" of the red gold orb spread rapidly, wrapping around the black ball lightning and pulling the black ball lightning into the interior of the red gold orb.

In an instant.

The terrifying threat of death disappeared.

The red-gold "flame" burned fiercely, like a tongue of fire, licking the air for a long time, devouring all the remnants of the black lightning.

Subsequently.

The scarlet gold orb restrained its "arrogance" and floated quietly in the air.

"Uh... you really managed to take out the black ball lightning?"

Xu Ran was surprised. He grabbed the red gold orb and looked at it carefully.

Eating such dangerous black lightning should be transformed into energy to dispel the fog, right?

however……

You won’t know until you see it, and you’ll be shocked when you see it——

There's more fog! There's even more fog!
Although the appearance of the scarlet gold orb became more round and smooth, and shone brightly because it swallowed the pitch-black lightning, the fog inside was so thick that it seemed to cover up some secrets, making it hundreds of times more difficult to guess!
"Okay, okay, you ate something good, but the fog didn't go away? You're trying to trick me, right?"

Xu Ran raised his brows slightly, but it didn’t matter. Being able to kill the black lightning was the best situation. He should be grateful to the red gold pearl.

Nothing more.

Everyone has a strong curiosity...

What level of treasure is this thing?

Where did it come from? Why did it appear at the spatial barrier broken by [Nightmare Mother]?
What secret does the mist inside the orb hide?
Why can the orb swallow up the dark lightning?
Where did the pitch-black lightning come from, and why did it suddenly appear to kill Zhu Yuheng and me?

There's too much fog...

Xu Ran shook his head slightly: "I can't figure it out at all... It's futile to overthink it."

No matter what, he is just a child with a health value of more than 3 points, and his knowledge is limited.

It could even be said that human civilization as a whole had a terrifyingly low understanding of the New Era. This was due to civilization's backwardness, so he couldn't understand, let alone guess, the origins of the red-gold orb and the pitch-black lightning.

"It doesn't matter. If you can help me solve a life-or-death crisis, you're a great treasure. If I ever encounter an unstoppable danger again, I'll throw you out! At least when it comes to dealing with black lightning, you're my trump card..."

In a brilliant smile.

Xu Ran took the red gold orb into his body cleanly and neatly.

Behind.

Hu Niu was stunned.

"What happened? Brother Xiao Ran, what were you doing just now? Why did that terrifying black lightning disappear as soon as you shook it?"

Her golden eyes were full of surprise.

It turns out that Brother Xiao Ran has a hidden card?
terrible!
On the other hand, the plump aunt's expression was also very strange.

The black lightning was so terrifying that she only took one look at it and fell into fear, thinking that she was going to turn into a pile of ashes.

She was so desperate...

however.

Such a great terror was solved so cleanly by a child?

Her red lips parted slightly as she collapsed to the ground, her body drenched in sweat. She looked at Xu Ran with a frightened look in her eyes: "What...what happened?"

"Or am I hallucinating?"

Xu Ran turned around and glanced at the plump aunt, his eyes surprisingly calm. "It's an illusion, an illusion caused by the Ten Thousand Tribulations Flame tempering the body."

Plump Auntie: “Oh…”

She wanted to get up, but she found that she had no strength left...

Xu Ran shook his head. He was not as brave as Hu Niu. However, Hu Niu was so bold that it seemed a little abnormal...

Think so.

Xu Ran smiled slightly, his eyes skipping over the plump aunt and falling on Zhu Yuheng.

Zhu Yuheng was unaffected by the black lightning. Vitality rapidly spread within her body, her burned flesh now scorching in the flames while undergoing a nirvana of rebirth. Her physical strength, having shed its initial fragility, reached a whole new level of strength.

Nirvana is over!

Zhu Yuheng slowly opened her eyes, jumped off the training platform excitedly, walked to Xu Ran, looked at Xu Ran with her blue eyes, wanting to say something but stopping herself, wanting to share her joy with Xu Ran, but she was a little tongue-tied and didn't know how to say it.

"It's...it's a success."

Xu Ran nodded slightly.

Hu Niu was full of energy: "Congratulations, but has the second stage ability appeared?"

Zhu Yuheng shook his head: "Not yet... but I have a hunch that the method is correct! If I can become stronger, perhaps I can bear the power of the second stage."

A look of surprise appeared on Hu Niu's facial features, and she looked at Xu Ran with her sparkling eyes.

"Brother Xiao Ran, you are really amazing."

Xu Ran smiled faintly: "Of course it's amazing. Standing before you now are the god-level monsters [Nightmare Mother], the terminator of [Flying Head Ghost], the nightmare of [Non-Despair Disaster], the director's magical conch, the human-shaped wishing well, and the miracle bone..."

Hu Niu smiled and said, "You're really awesome!"

"However, Sister Yuheng, can you use another drop of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Flame?"

She knew that sister Yuheng was too embarrassed to speak up, she was so shameless!

Hearing this, Zhu Yuheng lowered her head. The Eternal Flame was extremely precious. After consuming just one drop, she didn't know how to repay it. Now, she needed a second drop?

She is thin-skinned...

Xu Ran nodded slightly: "How much Qi and Health do you have?"

Hu Niu replied instantly: "19760 points, a full 13000 points more than me."

Xu Ran looked at Hu Niu. Hu Niu's relationship with Zhu Yuheng was far deeper than that of other super geniuses. It seemed that she particularly liked this weak "sister".

Could it be that she is obsessed with white hair?

Xu Ran thought for a moment and said, "I can try using one more drop. Does it look okay?"

Zhu Yuheng nodded weakly: "No... I have a feeling I can still withstand one drop of flame. But if I want to have the power of the second stage, maybe ten drops are needed. Isn't that too much?"

The appearance of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Flame made Zhu Yuheng more cheerful and his speech more coherent. Xu Ran smiled warmly, "Not much."

"If you can find a way, any expense is worth it. Once this path is opened, the future will be smooth sailing. There are still 310 days until the National God Slayer Squad Selection Competition. Don't worry, you can definitely get a ranking with your physical strength and join my God Slayer Squad."

Zhu Yuheng looked up at Xu Ran, surprise flashing in his blue eyes: "Huh?"

Xu Ran's eyes were calm. "Others might not know the power of the Time Bone, but how could I not know? I'll choose you. [All Things Stagnate] is a magical skill if used properly. Besides, don't you have the second and third stage abilities later on?"

"I used the Eternal Flame to cultivate you. I can't just give you away, right? Wouldn't that be a huge loss for me?"

Hu Niu pouted, "Didn't you say you wanted to join my team? I was the one who invited you first! I was the one who came first!"

Xu Ran glanced at Hu Niu and said, "Only my team can use the Eternal Flame. Do you have the Eternal Flame? Can you increase her physical strength?"

Hu Niu immediately lowered her head: "I can't..."

Xu Ran was triumphant: "That's it. Your brother will always be your brother."

"Then I want the Eternal Flame too. I want to join your team!"

Xu Ran patted Hu Niu's head and said, "Why don't you just stop striving for the top ten and lead the team yourself?"

Hu Niu's bright eyes sparkled: "Yu Heng was snatched away by you, so why should I lead the team? Besides, I also want the Eternal Flame, hehehe..."

She laughed as if she had seen the cake.

Xu Ran waved his hand: "Alright, alright, we'll talk about your Eternal Flame later. Let those who need it use it first."

While talking.

Xu Ran looked at Zhu Yuheng and said, "Sit back on the training platform."

"it is good……"

Zhu Yuheng behaved well and continued to sit cross-legged.

Silently, the second flame of eternal calamity emerged from Xu Ran's palm. It swayed quietly, strange and mysterious, spreading an aura of destruction, yet containing pure vitality.

Hu Niu couldn't help but be curious: "Brother Xiao Ran, how many flames do you have? Is it difficult to obtain?"

Xu Ran: “It’s not particularly difficult…”

Hu Niu nodded her little head and stood aside, holding her breath.

Because at this moment, Xu Ran was reaching out and handing the black flame to Zhu Yu...

Zhu Yuheng subconsciously trembled, not because of fear, but because the pain of being burned by flames just now had been imprinted deep in her soul, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

He took a deep breath of air, pushing the cool air into his lungs.

Zhu Yuheng's eyes were firm, his palms clenched into a ball, and a pitch-black flame fell into his palms.

"boom--"

It's like flame meeting gasoline.

The pitch-black flames instantly spread to every corner of Zhu Yuheng's body, and even the very end cells were burning with flames.

White arms, elegant neck, delicate cheeks...

A pitch-black flame emerged, strong enough to burn the flesh to ashes, burning her internal organs, her limbs, her billions of cells...

Just for a moment.

She was on the verge of death.

But it was just a millisecond before death.

Time suddenly stopped!

The scene just now reappeared once again...

The space-time channel behind Zhu Yuheng slowly unfolded, winding and extending to the end of space-time.

The white-haired little girls at each future node shared the intensity of the pitch-black flames, their bodies burned into pitch-black holes...

The pitch-black flames spread along the space-time channel.

If you meet a little girl, burn her.

Burn all the way to the end of the space-time channel.

It burned the beautiful white-haired girl who was bearing fruit on a slender branch.

She was still naked, her fair skin as delicate as jade looked like a porcelain work of art being calcined by the black flames.

The pitch-black flames not only failed to destroy her, but made her even more holy and divine - her slender parts were like willows, her plump parts were round and smooth like jade, and every inch of her skin was crystal clear, exuding a breathtaking beauty.

The beautiful white-haired girl slowly opened her blue eyes and smiled gently.

Strands of light symbolizing vitality emerged from her body, passed through the channel of time and space, and flowed upstream!

Sweeping over all the burned little white-haired girls!

The white-haired little girls quickly recovered.

Finally… the light that symbolized vitality passed through the boundless space and time, like a drop of ink dripping into clear water, and fell into Zhu Yuheng's heart…

The flames of myriad calamities burned fiercely, burning everything Zhu Yuheng had. However, within the blazing flames, a brand new body was born...

Her skin is crystal clear and as delicate as a newborn baby's.

The strength of her physical body continued to rise, reaching a level where she could withstand a 20,000-energy attack with her bare hands!
This is strong.

very strong.

Although she is far inferior to Xu Ran, it means that she has also embarked on a path of physical invincibility, and it also means that she can unlock the second and third stage abilities in the future.

but.

The annoying thing is that the pitch-black ball lightning lingers.

Another lightning bolt filled with destructive aura appeared out of nowhere and struck Xu Ran's face.

"Humph."

Xu Ran's eyes narrowed slightly, and he threw the red-gold orb towards the pitch-black lightning. Before the pitch-black lightning could unleash its terror, it was swallowed up completely.

"Heh. Figure it out."

Xu Ran turned around with a warm smile.

He caught the red gold orb with his backhand.

Real men never look back to see the explosion.

only……

Xu Ran looked back, his handsome posture slightly frozen, his eyelids twitching violently...

What did he see?
Saw the space-time channel...

I saw the perfect girl with slender branches and abundant fruits at the end of the time-space tunnel...

"Forehead……"

Such an unexpected thing left Xu Ran stunned.

"Is that the future time and space? Why did I see it?"

He turned his head to look at Auntie Fengpan and Hu Niu.

The two of them didn't seem to be able to see the future time and space.

"Am I the only one who saw it again? Why didn't I see it before, but I see it now? Is it because... who knows?"

"But, that girl at the end, is she the future Zhu Yuheng? She's not wearing any clothes..."

Xu Ran took a quick glance and then looked at it again. It was so beautiful, as exquisite as a work of art.

The perfect girl was in a trance for a moment, her blue eyes looking at Xu Ran at the end of the space-time channel. She noticed Xu Ran's gaze and her cheeks turned red.

next moment.

The space-time channel disappeared instantly.

Zhu Yuheng opened his eyes and glanced at Xu Ran softly, his eyes filled with the joy of success and implicit gratitude.

She didn't seem to notice.

Xu Ran saw his future self.

Hu Niu naturally didn't notice this little episode.

She put away the golden tower, walked over and carefully touched Zhu Yuheng's arm, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if she was thinking seriously: "Hmm... It worked, very impressive."

Zhu Yuheng smiled and said, "It was a success..."

"Thanks……"

Xu Ran waved his hand nonchalantly, "You're welcome. There are still 310 days left before the National God-Slaying Squad Selection Competition. Work hard to increase your Qi and Blood. If you practice the Qi and Blood cultivation method I created, you can increase your Qi and Blood by 2 points during this time. This means you can refine three more drops of the Myriad Tribulations Flame!"

"When your physical strength reaches the point where you can receive a 5 HP attack with your bare hands, you will definitely be ranked."

Zhu Yuheng nodded: "Okay..."

aside.

Hu Niu was shocked. "Catching an attack with 3 HP with your bare hands? By then... I'll only have a little over HP, right? Wouldn't that mean you'll have to catch my attack with your bare hands?"

Xu Ran shook his head. "An attack with 5 HP doesn't include any God-given magical powers that exceed that level. Your little golden tower probably won't be able to catch it."

Hu Niu was puzzled: "Then why was Brother Xiao Ran able to catch it just now?"

Xu Ran: "Because I'm stronger."

Hu Niu was speechless.

She wanted to say something, but her mind was suddenly confused.

He could only stare blankly at Xu Ran, then at Zhu Yuheng: "Hey, sister Yuheng has become stronger. Let's go to the Colosseum. Let's test your quality."

talking.

Hu Niu dragged Zhu Yuheng out of the training room.

Outside the training room.

The headmaster paced back and forth. Seeing that Zhu Yuheng was safe and sound, with even his clothes intact, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Did it work?"

Hu Niu: "Success! I absorbed two drops of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Flame! Now I can take on the attacks of a powerful opponent with 20,000 HP with my bare hands!"

The headmaster was stunned: "So strong? Then... what about the second stage ability?"

Xu Ran: "It hasn't been activated yet. It will probably only be activated when you receive an attack of 10 HP with your bare hands."

The headmaster pondered, "Doesn't that mean I have to absorb ten drops? Is there not enough flame?"

Xu Ran shook his head: "No, Zhu Yuheng's health value needs to reach 10 points before he can use the flame. Just wait, it's enough now."

The headmaster exhaled deeply and looked at Xu Ran with amazement: "Amazing! He is indeed a miracle bone. He is truly a monster!"

"By the way, how many drops of the Eternal Tribulation Flame did you use?"

Xu Ran smiled mysteriously: "I can't say."

The headmaster's expression froze. "I'll let you know! Just once! I won't tell anyone else!"

Xu Ran squinted at the headmaster and said, "If I reveal it, will you tell me the shocking secret you shared last time? How about a deal?"

The headmaster thought for a moment and said, "No."

Xu Ran spread his hands: "Then there's nothing we can do. It's you who doesn't want to make a deal."

The headmaster hesitated to speak.

Watched the three of them go to the Colosseum.

"It's getting more and more terrifying. It's a freak! If the Eternal Flame wasn't so dangerous, it might have ushered in a whole new era. But even so, it's still epoch-making."

"From now on, there are two practitioners whose physical bodies are invincible!"

The head teacher took a deep breath. After teaching for so many years, how could he not know how powerful Xu Ran's innovation was?
"As expected of a miracle bone... Hmm... The National God-Slaying Squad Selection Competition in 310 days will definitely give everyone in Jing Province a little shock..."

The headmaster put his hands behind his back and left with a smile on his face.

It's been a long journey.

He suddenly stopped and said, "What was I going to do? Oh, look at my memory! I don't even know what I was going to do. I got so carried away."

……

the other side.

Colosseum.

Zhu Yuheng and Hu Niu have already started fighting.

This time, Zhu Yuheng was reborn.

I fought with Hu Niu for half an hour.

The tremendous increase in her physical strength allowed her to integrate all the combat skills she had secretly mastered before.

Unless Hu Niu uses the golden tower, there is really no way to suppress her.

Li Qinghong stood in the stands, watching the battle, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

She looked at Xu Ran, her face filled with astonishment: "Your Myriad Tribulations Flame is too powerful to be able to increase Zhu Yuheng's physical strength to such an extent!"

Xu Ran's expression was calm. "It's not bad. In fact, it's fate that Zhu Yuheng has this opportunity. If it weren't for her God-given passive, I wouldn't dare let her use the Eternal Flame."

Li Qinghong nodded and patted Xu Ran's shoulder with approval. "Perhaps only when the human body's strength is improved can we truly defeat alien monsters and the resentful gods! You are creating a brand new path - the Miracle Bone!"

Xu Ran smiled warmly and was about to say something when he saw a familiar figure.

He turned his head to look at Ye Ping who was walking towards him. Uncle Ye Ping had a smile on his face.

"Uncle Ye, judging from your expression, did you get some important information?"

Ye Ping: "Yes, we should have discovered the traces of the Talisman Resentful God!"

Xu Ran's eyes sparkled: "Really? Let me see!"
