Chapter 262 The True God or Immortal Who Questions Life?

Inside the pit, all was quiet.

Only Li Wushou's soft questioning echoed continuously.

After a moment of hesitation, seeing that the other party seemed unprepared to respond, he realized that...

Li Wushou, wielding the Three Inch Heaven and Earth, broke through the magnetic repulsion and transformed into a stream of light, stomping heavily on the giant tortoise's back.

"Boom!"

The force of the falling sky instantly shattered the giant tortoise's thick shell, and cracks spread across its back.

The immense force penetrated the turtle's body and seeped into the seawater, causing huge waves to surge from the ground and crash against the pit, making the pit collapse even more severely in an instant.

Li Wushou plunged his feet deep into the turtle's back!
He forcefully pulled his feet out of the turtle's back, then bent over and began to punch and pound with both fists.

"Boom boom boom!"

The violent blood and qi, mixed with condensed spiritual power, smashed the entire tortoise shell to pieces.

Seeing that the other party remained unmoved, Li Wushou frowned.

This giant turtle is indeed not the other party's body!

Ever since he sensed the strength of the tortoise shell's magic, Li Wushou had a feeling that the giant tortoise's physical body and shell were somewhat incompatible with the opponent's magic.

Who started creating these boundaries?

Normally, one should be a Nascent Soul cultivator, or a Nascent Soul True Monarch who is exceptionally talented and happens to have acquired some rare and precious natural treasures that suit them.

Star fragments are certainly excellent natural treasures, but tortoise shells are not!
Despite its large size, this giant tortoise was only at the Golden Core level in Li Wushou's eyes.

Li Wushou actually liked these kinds of evil spirits the most: large bodies, abundant blood and energy, but average strength, just like the river god he encountered in Wufang City.

It's delicious!

Putting aside the taste, things get interesting.

How did a giant tortoise at the Golden Core level master the method of creating worlds?

Considering that the other party had previously claimed to be a true god from beyond the realm, Li Wushou and the old beggar both agreed that the giant tortoise was nothing more than a puppet of the other party.

The true extraterrestrial gods remain hidden in the shadows.

Moreover, the other party's situation is likely not very good, just as I guessed.

This left the other party with no choice but to use the giant tortoise's shell to refine the Dharma realm.

As for why the other party was so eager to refine the Dharma Realm?
Who cares? We'll find out once we find out and ask.

Li Wushou changed his position and continued to pound the turtle's back.

Thirty-six fragments of stars are embedded on the turtle's back, their starlight and magnetic force closely connected.

Li Wushou's eyes flashed; he knew where the other party was hiding.

The only thing he couldn't see clearly in the entire pit was these star fragments, and the only thing he couldn't understand at all was the largest star fragment embedded in the very center.

The other party must be hiding in that fragment of star.

To get the other party to come out willingly, you must first break their stellar magnetic array and cut off their power supply.

Calm yourself down, put down your fist and stand up.

Li Wushou arrived at the nearest star fragment.

I gazed at this fragment of starlight, which was about the size of a washbasin.

The evil spirit inside the golden core was still alive, but it was not struggling as violently as before and appeared somewhat listless.

The three-inch Heaven and Earth Domain enveloped the star fragment, and sure enough, Li Wushou sensed the interconnected magnetic force of the stars within the tortoise shell.

With a thought, Yin and Yang separated within the Dharma Realm, with the Heavenly Dao rotating to the left and the Earthly Dao rotating to the right, and Yin and Yang flowing in and out.

Li Wushou wanted to forcibly sever the connection between the magnetic forces by rotating the Tai Chi symbol.

Just then, the large star in the center of the tortoise shell suddenly flashed, and the evil spirits within the thirty-six stars roared and wailed silently.

A magnetic storm suddenly descended upon Li Wushou's three-inch-long domain.

The swirling Tai Chi energy that had just begun to spin was extinguished!

Li Wushou raised an eyebrow, finally stopping his pretense of death?

Logically, as long as Li Wushou continuously activates the Three-Inch Heaven and Earth Domain, he can wear down the opponent's power to the point of exhaustion.

After all, judging from the current situation, the opponent's power is extracted from the power of thirty-six Golden Core evil spirits through the Star Magnetic Array.

However, Li Wushou was not prepared to slowly wear them down. Not to mention that it would take an uncertain amount of time, the fact that the other party was extracting the power of the evil spirits from the Golden Core was something Li Wushou could not tolerate, as this was the resource he had prepared.

The severity of the other party's behavior is no less than that of stealing food from his mouth.

So Li Wushou stood still and inserted his hands directly into the tortoise shell from both sides of the star fragment.

Huh? What does this feel like?

The moment he inserted his arms, Li Wushou clearly felt a sense of stagnation.

In the area where the star fragments are rooted, the tortoise shells here seem to have undergone a ritual, being much thicker than those in other areas.

When Li Wushou was punching other areas, the tortoise shells there were as fragile as tofu under his fists.

But this place is different; it seems quite hard!

Holding the star fragments with both hands, Li Wushou shouted:
"rise!"

His blood and qi surged, the star fragments trembled slowly, and cracking sounds rang out continuously.

The tortoise shell cracked around the star fragment, but the star fragment remained firmly half-fused into the shell, showing no signs of detaching.

Li Wushou could even sense a force attempting to repair the cracks.

Inside the large silver star in the center of the tortoise shell is a black stone.

This black stone, about the size of a human head, is dense and smooth, with no visible pores. It resembles gold and jade, and exudes a mysterious aura.

The entire fragment of the star is unique in both its magnetic properties and its hardness because of its existence.

At this moment, a shadow is slowly wriggling on this black stone. Upon closer inspection, it looks like a mass of flesh and blood, yet it seems somewhat different.

And this is the true form of the extraterrestrial god.

The other party was also somewhat shocked to see Li Wushou insert his hands directly into the tortoise shell.

After the Heavenly Gang Realm was broken, he quickly used magnetic force to forge these star fragments into the tortoise shell.

Its sturdiness has now been greatly improved.

Even the Nascent Soul cultivator wielding the sword would have had a hard time cutting through it with just a few sword strikes, yet the opponent was able to insert his hand directly inside.
Is this reasonable?

Then he saw an even more absurd scene: the other party actually tried to pull the star fragments out of the tortoise shell?
The extraterrestrial god seemed somewhat disdainful, truly considering them shallow and uncivilized barbarians.

If the opponent chooses to use that strange domain to consume the evil power within the star fragments, he might be at a disadvantage.

But at this moment, the star magnetic arrays are interconnected, forming the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals Array.

Although Li Wushou was only moving a single star fragment, it was no different from moving thirty-six star fragments at the same time, as well as the largest star fragment he was using to survive. And this particular star fragment contained a star core.

Let alone a Nascent Soul cultivator, even a Deity Transformation cultivator might not be able to move this star core with their physical strength, unless they use the power of the Law Domain or the power of the Realm.

Although Li Wushou's domain was strange, the True God outside the domain could see it clearly. The area was not large, probably only about three zhang, which was not enough to shake the entire Heavenly Gang Formation.

Moreover, it seems that the other party has given up the power of the Law Domain at this moment.

That's wishful thinking!
The extraterrestrial god looked at the star beneath him with somewhat complicated emotions.

If it weren't for greed back then, I wouldn't have ended up like this.
Why can't cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage or above descend upon Evil Calamity Island?
It was because of the existence of this star core that, while protecting him, also trapped him.

He wasn't actually unwilling to show up, but rather unable to!

Over the years, he has continuously used magnetic force to gather evil spirits, devouring and refining them to maintain his own life while manipulating them to launch an evil tide to invade Huazhou.

The real reason was to obtain enough flesh and blood sacrifices to help himself escape.

While he could eat the flesh and blood of evil spirits, consuming too much would cloud his spiritual light. He preferred to eat people, and it would be even better if he could keep them in captivity across an entire continent, which would allow him to recover much faster.

However, due to the obstruction of the suspended mountain, he spent many years unable to obtain enough flesh and blood, let alone incense and faith.

Furthermore, due to the fact that this has continued for so many years, the evil spirits surrounding Evil Calamity Island have almost all gathered there.

It was no longer possible for him to gather more evil spirits in the short term, and the newly formed evil spirits were of little use to him.

Therefore, most of the time, he allowed these evil spirits to kill each other on the island, and only those that survived could become his food.

Of course, after so many years of hard work, he has also made some progress in other areas.

More than a decade ago, he unexpectedly discovered a giant sea turtle after attacking Huazhou.

The first thing to do is to turn it into a puppet, hoping that it can carry Evil Calamity Island and hunt on the sea.

Finding a new sea area would be more efficient than him staying in this sea and continuing to attract evil spirits.

So all these years he had been tending to this sea turtle, but unexpectedly it all came to nothing. The three Golden Core cultivators of Suspended Mountain suddenly gained a means to briefly break through to the Nascent Soul stage and killed his puppet sea turtle.

A long period of time awaited him.

So he was feeling a bit disheartened just now, and Li Wushou's words stung him even more. Why would he want to hide?
Seeing Li Wushou, who was overestimating his abilities and still trying to lift the fragments of the star, the extraterrestrial god became even more interested.

Despite the opponent's fierce appearance, the extraterrestrial true god remained completely calm.

Even if the other party knows he is inside this star fragment, they can't do anything to him. How could they possibly pull him out of there?
He was actually looking forward to what the other party could do to him, because it would mean that he could leave this fragment of the star. Whether he lived or died at that time, it would be a kind of liberation for him.

Li Wushou was naturally unaware of what the extraterrestrial true god was thinking.

His entire focus was on holding the fragment of star in his hands.

The sheer weight of this star fragment made Li Wushou feel as if he were moving an entire star, not just a fragment.

Seeing Li Wushou struggling to carry the load, the old beggar in the Three Immortals Pavilion asked, "Should I use incense smoke to sever the connection between the magic arrays?"

Awakened by the powerful aura of the sea turtle's blood, Chen Gou'er rolled up his sleeves and shouted at Li Wushou:
"Li Wushou, I can help you move it, we can definitely move it!"

Li Wushou did not answer the two.

Having been washed by the Hengyang River, Li Wushou thought it would be difficult to find such gravity to help him temper his body again, but now the Star Array has given him hope.

Therefore, he didn't really want the old beggar and Chen Gou'er to get involved.

Because he had another way!
After his body and flesh merged, he refined the golden elixir into a dragon seed.

Dragon seed is not only usable after hatching; it also has a way to enhance its physical body on ordinary days.

During this period, he continuously used food to replenish the dragon's bloodline, but according to Li Wushou's estimate, he only replenished about one-tenth of the dragon's bloodline.

Although it's far from being fully mastered, it's usable enough for now. Li Wushou wanted to test its power!
Let me see just how heavy this magic array really is!

Li Wushou made up his mind.

The golden dragon seed emerged from the vertical line between the eyebrows.

As Li Wushou's mind shifted, his divine soul, blood energy, and spiritual power within the Golden Core Dragon Seed all fluctuated.

This is different from the Dragon King's dragon offspring, which only possess the pure aura of flesh and blood.

But Li Wushou's golden elixir contained essence, energy, and spirit!
As the Golden Core Dragon Seed trembled, a tall, slender figure emerged behind Li Wushou.

His figure was very similar to Li Wushou's, but his aura was completely different.

It was a sense of indifference, authority, and detachment, looking down on everything.

The moment that figure appeared.

The extraterrestrial god on the star core, who had been watching Li Wushou's actions with great interest, was momentarily stunned.

Then his emotions became intense, causing the entire Heavenly Gang Formation to hum loudly.

Elders Lü and Yuwen, who were guarding Yun, Shen, and Gongsun at the entrance of the pit, suddenly felt a sinking feeling between their brows, and then their eyes rolled back and they collapsed to the ground.

The dark shadows that had been hunting evil spirits on the black swamp shuddered and suddenly froze in place.

The other evil spirits beside him, like Elders Lü and Yuwen, fell into a coma.

Chen Gou'er inside the Three Immortals Pavilion immediately fell silent and stopped shouting.

Looking at the illusory figure behind Li Wushou, he felt as if he were seeing an immortal.

The old beggar's expression hardened slightly. After scrutinizing the man several times with wariness, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he couldn't help but mutter to himself:
"This is a hodgepodge of bits and pieces, but it actually looks somewhat like a cultivation method. Is this even possible?"

Li Wushou's expression was focused, his face slightly flushed, as the consumption of activating the dragon seed was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Clutching the star fragments tightly in his hands, Li Wushou composed himself, veins bulging on his face, and roared:
"Open it for me!"

As the roar resounded, the phantom behind him took a step forward and quietly merged into Li Wushou's body.

Golden light flashed frequently inside the pit!
The massive, star-like Heavenly Gang Formation was partially torn open by Li Wushou, even under the questioning gaze of the extraterrestrial true god.

Li Wushou grabbed the star fragment and yanked it hard, causing the star fragment to detach completely from the magic array.

With a breath towards the stars, the evil spirit imprisoned within them transformed into a stream of energy that Li Wushou swallowed.

This time, I didn't even think about food being the most important thing; it was digested and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Without the enhancement of the magic array, the star fragment regained its original weight.

Li Wushou casually tossed the fragment of the star onto the ground.

It then twisted and turned on the turtle's back, devouring all the evil spirits and golden cores within the thirty-six star fragments.

With one step, Li Wushou arrived at the star where the extraterrestrial true god resided.

Li Wushou twitched the corners of his mouth, muttering with a slightly sinister tone:
"Since you're unwilling to come out, then please come out."

The moment he finished speaking, Li Wushou raised his right fist high.

It hurled itself forcefully toward the stars!
