The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 303 Wait for me to emerge from seclusion
In front of the small hill.

Jiang Man stands tall and imposing, like a deep pool or a majestic mountain.

At this moment, he was covered by chains, which pulled at various parts of his body.

This is a lock from the mind, an iron chain born from his mind.

The purpose was to lock him up.

To lock oneself in.

but.
Jiang Man strode up the small hill, his steps somewhat difficult, but he did not stop.

The forward movement of the body caused the taut iron chain to break and shatter.

Jiang Man's gaze fell on the ink-black fruit, and he was quite moved.

He originally only cultivated outside the woods.

This was to avoid the evil gods of the abyss.

But unexpectedly, the evil god of the ancient well took the initiative to influence him, and then he found that his cultivation speed had increased.

It was as if he had taken a magic pill.

The method of transforming into an evil god allows for faster progress.

After a slight hesitation, he chose to cultivate the third volume of the Evil God's Method.

With the practice of the first form in Volume Three.

The physical strength will become increasingly powerful, and even the power to condense the evil god's power will be faster and stronger.

He then discovered that the aura of the ancient well-like evil god seemed to be guiding him inside.

He initially refused.

However, the other party opened a path that allowed him to avoid the abyssal evil gods.

Furthermore, he discovered that the abyssal evil god's aura didn't seem to care much about him.

It might be due to the aura of an evil spirit resembling an ancient well.

After testing the strength inside, Jiang Man discovered that the deeper inside, the more the evil god's techniques improved.

Moreover, the evil god's method can deal high damage.

So he chose to take the risk.

If you're quick enough, you can get away unscathed.

In addition, he also notified the Zhenyue Division.

First, leave yourself a way out.

Secondly, it's a way to complete the task incidentally.

Once inside, he remained in a suitable spot to cultivate.

Avoid the sharp edge of the evil god.

Until he discovered the source of the evil god.

Fruit on the tree.

He could clearly sense that swallowing it would advance the evil god's technique even further.

This is equivalent to a significant increase in strength.

With Zui Fusheng's strength greatly increased, it will be easier for him to survive here.

So, he stopped pretending.

Tear apart the shackles of the mind, tear off the iron chains of the soul.

Actively approach and launch an attack.

At first, the other party was excited.

It seems to want to do more with the help of a suitable body.

They went in both directions.

It wasn't until Jiang Man disregarded all mental shackles and crushed all mental chains that this continued.

The fruit began to panic, summoning its breath back.

As Jiang Man drew closer, the pace of its recall became more urgent.

Jiang Man did not stop them; the more they recalled, the better it would be for him.

However, the further along the process, the less effective the recall becomes.

The fruit looks good, but it's less fluffy than I expected.

This is merely the fruit of the evil god's power, imbued with a trace of conscious instinct; it's not its fault.

After a few breaths, Jiang Man arrived in front of the tree.

At this moment, the fruit gathered all its power, like a vortex sealing off the surrounding space, and then the mental vortex fell on Jiang Man.

He wanted to destroy Jiang Man's hope for life from his mind, and thus killed him.

perish together.

However, Jiang Man stood still, letting the vortex sweep over his mind.

It stirs the mind and thoughts.

Once a thought arises, it can swirl like a vortex, eventually swirling and killing a person.

But Jiang Man stood still, gazing calmly at the fruit.

for a long time!

An emotion called despair arises.

From the fruit.

Jiang Man reached out and grasped the other person's hand, calmly saying, "Don't despair, you should be happy to have witnessed such an extraordinary genius."

"If I can remember this in my next life, I can brag about it for the rest of my life."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Man exerted great force.

An aura of terror immediately erupted.

The opponent began to struggle, making a final counterattack.

at the same time.

The Zhenyue Division's men had already approached the grove.

They blocked the evil god's power falling from the sky.

However, the specific situation inside the grove is unknown.

They arrived at the exploratory site, where an array detected the aura of an evil god.

There were some water droplets on the formation, and at the very top, a large number of water droplets fell downwards and converged towards the center of the formation.

However, it was blocked by a force.

In the middle, there is a huge flow of water.

It is flowing, and its speed is increasing, like a storm rising at sea.

The formation vibrated because of its flow.

It seemed as if it might shatter and burst forth at any moment.

"The greatest help we can provide is to prevent the return of the evil god's aura. Currently, the evil god's aura in the forest has turned into a vortex, threatening to devour the people at its center."

"They must have been forced into a corner; this is a lose-lose situation."

"Our people are probably doomed," the investigator immediately said.

Those who investigated also felt it was a bit of a pity.

Those who can enter the realm of evil gods and launch such fierce attacks are far beyond the reach of ordinary members of the Zhenyue Division.

It would be such a shame to destroy it like this.

but.
The evil god's attack has been launched.

They cannot stop them.

The steward of Zhenyue lowered his head and sighed, "When the evil god's aura erupts later, there will definitely be huge fluctuations, and cracks will likely appear."

"Let's find a way to rescue them alive."

The most skilled evil god of the ancient well type is to destroy a person.

As long as the other person has any hope of survival, there is a high probability that they can be saved.

At this moment, the detection array suddenly trembled.

boom!
The water began to surge violently, threatening to indiscriminately destroy everything around it.

A sense of despair began to spread and surge.

It infected everyone.

This despair is about to engulf everyone.

Even those who were merely investigating felt a chill run down their spines.

We should retreat and avoid them.

However, just when the despair was at its peak, the water suddenly stopped flowing and then began to struggle frantically.

Despair, unparalleled despair, emanated from the flowing water.

It's not about guiding others, but about one's own powerless despair.

Even if you let it struggle, it will be of no use.

It was as if an invisible hand was firmly sealing it off.

Then squeeze it hard.

Click!

It looks like something broke.

The water flow collapsed without warning, and the water droplets falling from the sky began to return to higher ground, becoming ownerless.

Everything happened silently.

The aura of the evil god has vanished.

Without a doubt, the evil god of the ancient well was defeated.

At this moment, everyone watched all of this without saying a word.

It seems like they are trying to process this situation.

At this moment, the steward of Zhenyue Division turned to look at Senior Brother He: "Are you sure you killed your way out?"

He pointed in the direction the trees were twisting: "In this situation?"

Senior Brother He swallowed hard and said, "I suspect that my mind has been attacked by an evil god of the ancient well."

He sensed the presence of the forest and realized that his chances of breaking through were extremely slim.

So it's quite possible that his memory is playing tricks on him.

It wasn't that he broke out and encountered Jiang Man, but rather that Jiang Man broke in and encountered him.

That makes sense when you think about it that way.

At first, the enemy could only break in to rescue people. After receiving the mission reward, they could then break in to deal with the source of the evil god's aura in the ancient well.

Indeed, even the most talented people strive for every moment!

“Continue the investigation; we should make new discoveries,” the steward immediately said.

The others did not hesitate and began to investigate the situation inside.

Sure enough, a new flow of water appeared.

But the aura was completely different from before; it was blocking their way.

"An abyssal evil god has emerged," the investigator immediately exclaimed.

The steward of Zhenyue Division stepped forward, his aura bursting forth: "I'll go in and deal with him. You stop it from expanding, and then send two people to go separately to explain the situation to the manager of Heilingyuan. The balance has been broken. Whether there is any hope depends entirely on them."

Immediately afterwards, the steward conjured an invisible giant hand and headed towards the woods.

What we need is to attract the attention of evil gods.

This was to buy Jiang Man some time.

I hope he can escape alive.

They couldn't care about anything else.

Boom!

Jiang Man used all his strength to escape quickly, his left arm was twisted and bleeding.

As he fled, he looked up at the sky.

The force of the attack continued to bombard down from the sky.

Furthermore, powerful magical weapons were used to suppress it.

The abyssal evil gods who had originally been eyeing him had no choice but to withdraw and deal with them.

After sustaining some injuries, Jiang Man withdrew from the woods.

Abyss-type evil gods have the ability to distort and lock space.

His arm was injured when the other party distorted space.

He had just received the fruit and had no choice but to eat it.

Unexpectedly, the abyss-type evil god made a direct move.

"This time the opponent took the initiative to launch a sneak attack, so it seems to be an evil god, but its strength shouldn't be too great."

"However, it's hard to say what will happen in the long run."

There are no weak evil gods; if there are, it's because they haven't had enough time to recover.

The longer they are around, the stronger they become.

Even Linghua Xianling was no exception, except that she was destined not to have that much time.

Upon returning, Jiang Man immediately went to the mission site.

Tao and the others noticed Jiang Man, but did not see him in person.

"I need to go into seclusion for a while. You'd better be careful, something might happen," Jiang Man kindly reminded him.

Tao and the other two felt something was off.

Seclusion?

Who goes into seclusion while doing a mission?
Zheng Yan sighed, "It's alright, so be it. We're the only ones doing the work anyway."

The other two nodded as well.

What can they say when their senior brother, who is at the Nascent Soul level, goes into seclusion?
Naturally, they wholeheartedly agree; at least they can do the task according to their own ideas.

You don't have to be told what to do.

Three days later.

Late January.

Tao and his group received news that the formation was about to move, and a large number of demonic beasts would launch a counterattack and break out of the prison.

We need to be extremely careful.

We must not take this lightly.

This prison break is not on the same scale as the previous ones.

Tao and the other two were somewhat surprised upon seeing the message.

"Completely different?" Song Wushuang asked curiously, "What would it be like?"

Tao He frowned and said, "Jiang Man keeps telling us that something might happen. Could it be related to this?"

no one knows.

They couldn't guess anything.

The only option is to continue strengthening the formation to prevent any unexpected events.

Three days later.

Early February.

Their formation responded, indicating that a demonic beast had entered.

The three of them did not hesitate and immediately set off.

Sure enough, three demonic beasts began to rush towards them.

The three immediately reported the situation and then took action to drive them away.

However, the three demonic beasts did not flee, but insisted on breaking through the barrier.

The three had no choice but to kill him.

"It's started? Luckily there are only three," Song Wushuang said.

Tao He made a shushing gesture: "Don't say such things, it's taboo."

Song Wushuang immediately covered her mouth.

The three then remained vigilant.

There are none available today.

However, the next day, there were ten.

They can still handle it with ease.

Thirty on the third day.

They were relatively relaxed.

Fifty on the fourth day.

They were taken aback.

One hundred on the fifth day.

Looking at the large number of demonic beasts, a sense of unease welled up in their hearts.

One hundred and fifty on the sixth day.

They activated the formation and began frantically defending against the attack.

The situation has shifted from proactive to reactive.

Anxiety began to manifest.

Seventh day.

The two hundred demonic beasts terrified them.

The plea for help has been sent out for several days, but it has gone unanswered.

Faced with two hundred demonic beasts, they were filled with immense fear.

These demonic beasts are at least at the Golden Core stage, and even a weak Golden Core can be worn down to death.

They fought all day yesterday without rest, and just as they caught their breath, the monsters reappeared.

The spiritual energy is about to dry up.

"When did there become so many monsters?" Tao He was somewhat taken aback.

If there were so many from the beginning, wouldn't that mean the monsters had been hiding for a long time?

Their first glance went to where Jiang Man was in seclusion.

Tao He said, "Junior Sister Song, go and ask your senior brother to come out of seclusion."

Song Wushuang nodded immediately.

But just as she was about to go over, the monsters began to attack.

Boom!

A powerful attack cut off their path.

A power surpassing that of the Golden Core stage erupted forth.

A female-shaped demon beast stood in mid-air, followed by several other powerful demon beasts that walked through the air.

Each of them had surpassed the Golden Core stage in cultivation.

Feeling all of this, they were filled with despair.

At this moment, the female-looking demon beast calmly said, "It seems we've exhausted ourselves. We should have attacked earlier; we had to waste time."

As she spoke, she looked at Tao and the others: "Those who know when to yield are the wise ones; you can't stop us."

"How about we open the formation and let you out? Afterwards, we'll pretend we never saw you, okay?"

The three remained silent and did not speak.

The woman shook her head, then gently waved her hand: "See them off."

Instantly, the horde of beasts began their attack.

Tao and the others immediately communicated about the formation and began to defend against the attack.

However, just as the power of the formation was gathering, a cracking sound was heard.

Then, under the watchful eyes of Tao He and the others, the formation shattered layer by layer.

Zheng Yan, who was controlling the formation, was blasted away by the force and crashed heavily in front of the beast horde.

The female-looking demon beast, wielding a long sword, coldly said, "Crush her."

Zheng Yan watched in horror as the monster rapidly approached, her despair reaching its peak. She turned to flee.

But under the immense pressure, she had no chance of escaping.

Tao He wanted to take action, but there was nothing he could do.

At this moment, Zheng Yan watched helplessly as the horde of beasts was about to trample her body.

The next instant.

boom!
A barrier materialized in front of her.

Boom!

The barrier directly repelled the approaching monsters.

Only then did she come to her senses and realize that she had miraculously survived.

Then she saw a formation stone floating in front of her.

"This is."

She recalled that Jiang Man had asked them to set up an array.

This is the array stone we're using.

At this moment, the array stones were activated one by one.

The array that had been crushed was reassembled as the array stones were activated.

The powerful array quickly connected, protecting Tao and the other two.

They began to confront the herd of beasts.

Seeing such a powerful formation, Tao and the other two realized that their senior brother had not come here to complete a mission.

Rather, they had foreseen this day long ago.

At the same time, they were also glad that they hadn't acted recklessly and had successfully completed their senior brother's formation.

At this moment, Jiang Man's voice rang in their minds: "Hold on for three more days, and wait for me to come out of seclusion."
