Dao Cheng Gui Xian

Chapter 392 Big Mouth, Watchdog

"Click!"

The sound of shattering filled the air, and the Holy Spirit and the blood lotus beneath him were covered in cracks.

Seeing the Blood Buddha escape from the Holy Domain, Li Wushou hurriedly guided his primordial spirit and the invisible golden elixir to detach from the Holy Spirit's body.

The self-destruction of the half-fleshed Buddha body was not as powerful as imagined, but it severed the last foundation of the Holy Domain, pushing it to its doom.

Li Wushou had no intention of paying attention to or preventing the Blood Buddha from leaving, because his primordial spirit had also developed cracks along with the shattering of the Holy Domain.

Having absorbed too much of the blood, flesh, and essence of the Holy Realm, Li Wushou's primordial spirit, to some extent, seemed to have merged with the Holy Realm.

Although he had intentionally avoided directly devouring the Holy Spirit, which would exacerbate this assimilation, the frequent use of the Holy Spirit's power to enhance the Holy Domain's strength still kept his primordial spirit closely connected to the Holy Domain's world.

The shattering of the Holy Domain also affected Li Wushou's primordial spirit.

So it wasn't that he didn't want to stop the Blood Buddha, but that he had no strength left.

Blood Buddha is the most troublesome enemy he has ever encountered.

Whether it's their methods, mindset, or abilities, they are all in a class of their own.

Their hasty first encounter left a deep impression on each other, and also made Li Wushou clearly realize the gap between his strength and that of a Grand Venerable.

After calming his mind, Li Wushou reassembled his physical body.

The next moment, due to the influence of the Holy Domain, his physical body cracked continuously, but he still managed to maintain a human form.

The primordial spirit, cradling the formless golden elixir, sat atop the physical body's head, constantly chanting "Food is the foundation of heaven."

This time, he wasn't consuming the flesh and blood essence of the Holy Domain, but rather refining his physical body and primordial spirit to completely digest the flesh and blood essence of the Holy Domain that he had previously swallowed whole.

Only in this way can the connection between the primordial spirit, the physical body, and the sacred realm be severed.

This was the first time Li Wushou had encountered something that still retained some of its characteristics after being refined. He guessed that this must be related to the legacy of the Great Venerables left in the Holy Domain.

However, he believed that if Shiweitian refined the food several more times, it would definitely be able to digest it completely.

I just don't know if I can completely sever the connection before the Holy Land is destroyed, otherwise I estimate I will also suffer severe damage.

This was the first time Li Wushou had encountered such a passive situation since leaving Wufang City.

While silently reciting "Food is the most important thing," my mind wandered across the heavens and earth.

Blood rained down throughout the sanctuary, and countless puppets wailed in agony.

In a swamp, Li Wushou found the five Nascent Soul cultivators, including Zizhen, who were unconscious. Their bodies were cracked, their primordial spirits were greatly weakened, and they were severely injured.

After observing for a while, Li Wushou was surprised to find that Lu Xingzhi, who was the first to lose his composure, was in the best condition among the five.

Because he did not burn his primordial spirit, only his physical body was injured.

With a thought, the invisible golden core transformed into a stream of light and struck Lu Xingzhi directly on the head. A muffled thud was heard. Li Wushou nodded, indicating that the five people were now in about the same condition.

Each of the five people was given a spirit-controlling talisman, which was then returned to their divine apertures.

Li Wushou looked around at the Holy Spirit in the center of the Holy Domain. The flesh and blood giant that had just resisted the Buddha's palm had retreated behind the Holy Spirit and was constantly pulsating his flesh and blood essence into the Blood Lotus.

The roots of the Blood Lotus had withered and were now rootless. The moment the flesh giant exhausted its essence was clearly the moment the Holy Spirit would completely collapse.

Li Wushou is a bit of a pity!
This Holy Spirit was clearly a good thing, but unfortunately he couldn't eat it and could only watch it crumble. If the Blood Buddha hadn't self-destructed half of his Buddha body, he would have had enough room to maneuver and could have devoured the Holy Spirit.

It's all too late now!
Just then, the sky above the Holy Land suddenly darkened, as if a huge shadow had been cast over it.

Li Wushou was startled and looked up sharply. He saw the sky, which was pouring blood rain, suddenly tear open with cracks.

The cracks are evenly distributed, forming two slightly arc-shaped rows, one above the other.

While Li Wushou was still pondering, a series of sharp, white swords pierced straight out of the crack, and then two rows of swords intersected and merged together.

A huge gash was torn open in the sky above the Holy Land.

A terrifying suction force emanated from the enormous rift, causing the Holy Spirit, along with a large number of flesh-and-blood puppets, to rise into the air and disappear directly into the rift.

"Click!"

A crisp sound rang out from within his mind, and Li Wushou immediately felt the connection between his primordial spirit, physical body, and the Holy Domain completely severed.

The cracks in the physical body and the primordial spirit quietly disappeared and began to heal rapidly.

As his primordial spirit guided the golden core into his divine aperture, a glint flashed in Li Wushou's eyes. Sensing the familiar aura behind the crack, he knew immediately who it was.

Before he could utter a sound, a triumphant laugh suddenly echoed from the horizon:

"Hahaha, Li Wushou, your master is here to save you! Come out quickly!"

It really is a dog!
That must have been Chen Gou'er's huge mouth, which tore through the sky of the Holy Domain and devoured the Holy Spirit.

Judging from Chen Gou'er's tone, he was clearly enjoying the meal. How could he have eaten the Holy Spirit without being affected by the shattering of the Holy Domain? Li Wushou was quite surprised by this as well.

When did Chen Gou'er acquire such abilities?
However, considering that Chen Gou'er licked the flesh and blood of a Great Venerable on the bronze gate at the foot of Huangyuan Mountain, ignoring the influence of the Great Venerable's foundation in the Holy Domain, it doesn't seem so hard to accept.

That's fine too. It's better that Chen Gou'er ate it than that it was wasted here.

Looking around the Holy Land, the entire Holy Land was desolate because the Holy Spirit had been devoured. The sky was wrinkled like the skin of an old man, and below, large swaths of puppet flesh and blood withered and turned into pools of pus flowing across the earth.

A stench of rotting flesh swept across the land.

Chen Gou'er's urging came again from the crack:
"Li Wushou, come out here! You stink!"

The sound was muffled, indicating that the person had clearly covered their nose.

Li Wushou was speechless upon hearing this. He anchored his gaze to Chen Gou'er's aura and flew towards the crack.

Crossing the Holy Domain is not as simple as tearing the sky. Although there seems to be a rift between Li Wushou and Chen Gou'er, there may actually be countless voids between them.

This is why all travel to the Holy Land is via the Mustard Seed Ferry.

However, with Chen Gou'er guiding him, it wasn't difficult for Li Wushou to control his primordial spirit to travel.

Passing through the rift, the sacred realm behind them withered and shrank like a fruit, turning into nothingness.

Li Wushou did not linger, ignoring the illusion before him, and continued to travel. The world changed, and a blood-red color appeared before his eyes. The moment he stood still, he had already returned to the poisonous domain of the Domain River.

The enormous head that had been floating on the surface of the Domain River had long since disappeared, leaving only the rolling waters of the Domain River beneath its feet.

Chen Gou'er stood with a smile on his face in front of a constantly dissipating void rift, holding his stomach.

Chen Gou'er was fierce enough on ordinary days, but Chen Gou'er as a gatekeeper was even more ferocious.

Li Wushou couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

Chen Gou'er laughed heartily, looking quite pleased with himself, and was about to boast when he suddenly heard Li Wushou ask:

"Are you here all alone? Where's the old beggar?"
