Gao Wu: Ten years of sparring experience, one move and the world knows him.

Chapter 180 I'll Make You Kneel

"Indeed, the Boundary Void is the place where the two worlds are connected, linking the two worlds."

"You mean, this is a connection to another world?"

"Yes, to be precise, it is Guixu."

The Three Lives Cult Leader smiled faintly and said.

Zhao Rui was taken aback, but in an instant, he stopped paying attention to the passage and looked at the two of them, saying, "Thank you for your explanation, Master. Farewell!"

"Wait a minute, young friend. Aren't you interested in that strange divine light you just saw?"

The leader of the Three Lives Cult asked with a slightly seductive tone.

What's meant to be mine will come to me; what's not, I won't force.

After Zhao Rui finished speaking, he unleashed a burst of sword light and prepared to run away into the distance.

But just as he moved, a colossal hand that blotted out the sky suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of him.

They wanted to seize him in an instant.

Just as Zhao Rui was about to unleash his true energy and break free from the restraints, his soul suddenly tightened, and an inexplicable constraint was instantly placed upon it.

He couldn't move.

At the same time, a system notification sound echoed in my mind:

"A copyable martial art has been detected: 'Nine Sons Crimson Yin Soul Locking Formation (Combined Attack Formation)! Copy?'"

"Damn it, copy!"

Zhao Rui cursed inwardly and hurriedly activated the Illusionary Sound Technique and the Six-Line Enchanting Immortal Technique, protecting his soul while trying to break free from the binding array.

Possessing both demonic and immortal techniques, Zhao Rui's soul is incredibly strong. Now, having learned Cangwuzi's Maha Wuliang, his soul power has undergone a qualitative change.

With a slight effort, the soul was released from its confinement.

Just as he was struggling to escape, nine masked black-clad divine messengers leaped out of the water.

They each held a strange object in their hands and threw it at Zhao Rui.

Zhao Rui hurriedly used the "Charming Maiden Formless Heavenly Demon Technique," his figure becoming ethereal as he dashed and dodged in six directions.

These strange objects simultaneously emitted beams of light resembling lightning, forming a ring that completely blocked all paths of progress.

With all the acupoints in his body opened, Zhao Rui's true form, the Purple Mansion Yuanzun Dharma Body, instantly manifested. His enormous body, over thirty feet tall, leaped out and broke free of his restraints.

Vast spiritual energy instantly condensed in his hand, and a colossal hand, even larger than the true form of the Dharma Body, emerged from the air and reached out to grab the nine divine envoys.

The massive handprint unleashed by the nine divine messengers was as insignificant and pitiful as a kitten's paw in front of it.

"The Great Sumeru Buddha's Hand!"

Everyone present, except for Mo Ling'er, was astonished, especially the nine divine envoys, whose expressions changed in an instant as they were grabbed by a large hand like stalks of wheat.

Zhao Rui didn't tolerate them and threw it forcefully towards the dark boundary of space.

Nine figures, like pebbles, transformed into shooting stars and flew away with a whoosh.

"Are you from Bailong Temple?"

The leader of the Three Lives Cult quickly used the Great Sumeru Buddha Hand to block the cave entrance and pulled all nine of his subordinates back.

He said this with a look of horror.

"Does the sect leader intend to become my enemy by stopping me?"

Zhao Rui said coldly.

"Why waste words with him? Just help me catch him, and I'll put in a good word for you with my brother."

Mo Ling'er was furious when she saw Zhao Rui being so "arrogant". She had been trying to catch him all the way but to no avail. She finally managed to corner him, but he easily broke free.

He immediately dodged and attacked Zhao Rui.

At the same time, strange black runes began to appear all over her body, like tattoos, spreading across her smooth skin.

It has a dark, glossy sheen.

With the runes attached to her, Mo Ling'er's body instantly expanded as she approached Zhao Rui's enormous Dharma form.

A large, jet-black bird with long plumage floated out of the air, its body surrounded by dark flames that resembled a block of dark ice, radiating an extremely cold chill.

Even Zhao Rui's enormous Dharma body could feel this penetrating chill to his very soul.

The giant bird's claws were incredibly sharp. In a flash, it leaped onto the top of Zhao Rui's Dharma image and reached out to grab him.

Zhao Rui dodged the attack and unleashed a long punch, engaging the giant bird in combat.

"What are you still doing?"

Mo Ling'er shouted at the Three Lives Cult Leader, afraid that Zhao Rui would run away again.

That kid is very slippery. As soon as he sensed something was wrong, he took off running, not giving her a chance to show off her skills at all.

The Three Lives Cult Leader frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then revealed his true form: a nine-headed serpent.

However, this time, his hydra was much smaller than the last one, roughly the same size as Mo Ling'er's large bird.

Two strange beasts materialized and lunged at Zhao Rui, the human.

Seeing how small the Dharma body of the Three Lives Sect Master was, Zhao Rui had already made up his mind and immediately attacked Mo Ling'er with all his might.

He only had a small portion of his energy left to focus on the Three Lives Cult Leader.

Mo Ling'er's martial arts are extremely unique, completely different from the existing martial arts in China.

As soon as he used it, Zhao Rui kept hearing the system's copying prompts in his mind.

Zhao Rui didn't pick and choose, copying everything that could be suggested.

The three fought a fierce battle, which coincided with the appearance of the Void Realm, causing chaotic weather, strong winds, and towering waves.

The whole scene resembled the end of the world, causing chaos in the surrounding waters.

The nine divine messengers all retreated more than ten kilometers away, not daring to approach even a fraction of a kilometer.

"This person is incredibly powerful; I've never heard of such a master in the Ruins of Return!"

"It is said that they are from China, not from Guixu."

"This young man is formidable. Even if we were to descend in our true forms, we would only possess this level of strength. I wonder where he obtained all this demonic power."

"Could it be a rebellious disciple taken in by Huan Yin and the other two?"

"It's a pity that the Illusionary Sound Envoy's soul is damaged and he has been silent for a long time. The Shadow Envoy's whereabouts are unknown. Otherwise, we could ask them."

The nine divine messengers spoke in secret, their eyes fixed on the battle in the arena.

Just then, a roar like a dragon's cry suddenly came from the Realm of Void.

The leader of the Three Lives Cult was terrified and retreated hastily, shouting, "It's the Nine-Aperture Soul-Devouring Worm! Retreat quickly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an enormous maw leaped out from the passage and swallowed Zhao Rui and Mo Ling'er, who were outside the passage, whole.

Then the giant mouth suddenly disappeared from the cave, and the entire Realm of Void also vanished abruptly.

In an instant, the wind subsided, the waves calmed, and the sky cleared.

Only the members of the Holy Lotus Cult remained standing there, silently watching the water surface return to calm.

"Master!"

The nine divine messengers bowed and shouted to the Three Lives Master.

"Yes, this matter ends here. No one is allowed to utter a single word."

"Furthermore, accelerate the integration of Eastern Japan and expedite our replacement plan. Anyone who refuses to cooperate, kill them!"

"Yes, Sect Master!"

The nine people responded in unison, and a surge of demonic energy rose up instantly, causing dark clouds to press down overhead, as if a heavy rain was about to fall!

……

The sky is like a canopy, covering all directions.

Inside the pitch-black interior of the strange beast, Zhao Rui and Mo Ling'er both withdrew from their true forms and crawled on the beast's stomach wall like tiny insects.

The environment here seems to have a restrictive force; the true form manifested by true energy cannot be maintained, and as soon as the true energy appears, it is completely absorbed.

"Do you recognize this thing? Can we get out of here?"

Zhao Rui was completely bewildered by the strange beast and could only place his hopes on Mo Ling'er.

"This is called the Nine-Aperture Soul-Devouring Beetle, a strange beast that devours spiritual energy. It mainly lives in the Kunling Secret Realm of Guixu and rarely appears..."

Is there any way to get out?

This is what Zhao Rui is more concerned about.

"No! Once our true energy is exhausted, we will turn into a mass of flesh and blood and be excreted by it."

Mo Ling'er said dejectedly.

"You dare call yourself the Witch Lord? Is this how you rule the Ruins?"

Zhao Rui was speechless.

"We're just a small tribe in Guixu, okay? Besides, even if there were a way to get out, I wouldn't tell you. Unless you beg me!"

Mo Ling'er raised her delicate chin and said arrogantly.

"Damn it, you're a lunatic!"

Zhao Rui kicked Mo Ling'er, who was standing beside him, several meters away, and cursed angrily without any mercy.

"You dare kick me!"

"Kick you?"

Zhao Rui used his gecko-like wall-climbing skills to crawl over to her, and then kicked her in the buttocks, sending her tumbling down to the wall below.

"Ah, I'll kill you!"

Enraged, Mo Ling'er bared her teeth and claws, trying to climb up, but the path was slippery. After much effort, she finally managed to climb up, only to be kicked back down by Zhao Rui. This happened several times. Suddenly, Mo Ling'er stopped moving, coldly staring at him, and said, "Let's die here!"

"Holy crap, are you out of your mind? If you have a way to get out, why don't you go out?"

"Why go out? It's pointless!"

"Neuropathy!"

Zhao Rui was truly impressed by her; no wonder she was willing to travel thousands of miles just to catch him.

You can't have a normal conversation with this kind of person.

Zhao Rui simply used his gecko-like wall-climbing technique to climb up the fleshy wall and see if he could find an exit.

"Gulu, Gulu!"

Before he could climb very far, a large, sticky mass of unknown material fell straight down from the sky.

Startled, Zhao Rui quickly jumped to the side and barely made it past.

Meanwhile, Mo Ling'er below also scrambled down and ran diagonally a distance to get away.

"what is this?"

"How would I know!"

Seeing that he couldn't get any information, Zhao Rui continued climbing. After climbing for a short while, another loud noise came from above.

Then you see a large expanse of water, like a waterfall, flowing down the fleshy walls.

A pungent smell forced Zhao Rui to block out his sense of smell; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to endure it.

He couldn't stand it, and Mo Ling'er couldn't stand it even more.

He immediately began to vomit large amounts of vomit.

Zhao Rui felt nauseous at the sight and almost vomited as well. He quickly turned his head away and continued exploring the area.

This should be the stomach or esophagus of this strange beast.

According to normal theory, since there is a head and a butt, these two should have an exit.

However, this is a strange beast; who knows what's going on?

"Don't leave!"

As Zhao Rui walked further and further away, Mo Ling'er, who was vomiting uncontrollably, finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"There is a way to get out, but I can't guarantee what the situation is like outside, and besides, this method..."

"any solution?"

Mo Ling'er took out a phoenix hairpin-like object from her bosom, then grabbed one of the switches, twisted it, and it turned into two separate phoenix hairpins.

"I have a set of magical artifacts that must be practiced by both men and women. Once mastered, they can be used to manipulate these two phoenix hairpins to drill a hole in this strange beast and escape..."

"That's it? Why don't you use it yourself?"

"My skills are insufficient; I cannot control it alone. It requires the combined efforts of a man and a woman."

"So useless? What's the point of having it!"

Zhao Rui said speechlessly, "Fine, I'll learn!"

"It's like I begged you to learn it, humph, what you're learning is my witchcraft, okay!"

Mo Ling'er snorted unhappily.

"Stop dawdling. The spiritual energy here dissipates too quickly. I'm really afraid we won't last much longer."

Zhao Rui couldn't care less about anything else at this point; he just wanted to leave first.

"Ok!"

Mo Ling'er nodded and began to teach Zhao Rui the mental cultivation technique.

The use of this kind of magical artifact differs from the martial arts of the Central Plains. Many of its principles cannot be understood without a specialist's explanation.

Seemingly because she wanted to get out, Mo Ling'er taught quite seriously and patiently.

The two taught him for two hours, and Zhao Rui finally grasped a little bit of the basics.

"I prefer to learn through practice. So, let's practice this witchcraft together. I think we'll learn faster that way."

Zhao Rui spoke up.

"Okay, whatever you want, as long as you can learn it."

Mo Ling'er said nonchalantly.

Thus began a magical duel between the two.

At first, Zhao Rui couldn't even control the phoenix hairpin, and he was quickly overwhelmed by Mo Ling'er.

She laughed so hard she almost fell over, as if she had finally gotten revenge for the thousands of kilometers she had chased.

Zhao Rui ignored her petty squabbles and focused on his studies.

After another half day, Zhao Rui was finally able to skillfully manipulate the phoenix hairpin using witchcraft, and the battle between the two became more complicated.

Just then, a black light suddenly rushed from below at a speed that was definitely faster than the speed of sound.

With the witch treasure in hand, Mo Ling'er seemed to have recovered her strength considerably. Seeing this, she casually pointed, and the phoenix hairpin pierced through the black light like a sharp sword.

One hit kill.

The black light froze instantly; it turned out to be a strange-looking monster that resembled the opposite sex from his previous life.

It belongs to the crustacean insect-like organisms.

"This must be what it swallowed."

Even with the magic weapon in hand, Mo Ling'er still felt uncomfortable all over. As a young woman, even though she had killed countless people, she was still afraid of insects.

"Yes, we need to hurry. Who knows what else it might swallow in a moment!"

The two quickly composed themselves and continued to meditate.

After practicing for another half day, Zhao Rui finally grasped some of the tricks and could be considered to have entered the door.

"You're not exactly stupid!"

When Mo Ling'er saw that he had learned it, a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.

Then he said, "Finally, we can go out. But I'm not sure what it's like outside. It could be turbulent waters, it could be a void, or it could be some kind of messy place."

"It's better than here!"

Zhao Rui said expressionlessly.

"Ok!"

Mo Ling'er held two sword-like fingers together in the center of her forehead, chanting incantations, and the black patterns all over her body reappeared.

Strange incantations began to appear around her, forming three-dimensional talismans that floated and swirled around her.

After a while, Zhao Rui followed suit and began chanting the incantation.

The two phoenix hairpins instantly transformed into a stream of light, swirling around the two of them.

"are you ready?"

"Ok!"

The two simultaneously unleashed their sorcery, instantly merging their two phoenix hairpins into one, transforming into a phoenix shadow the size of a person, which charged straight toward the beast's body.

With a whoosh, a beam of light appeared instantly where the phoenix shadow had passed.

"Come on!"

Without hesitation, the two immediately used all their strength to rush out of the hole.

Just as the two of them rushed out, the cave entrance was being repaired and fused together at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Quick, quick!"

As the two approached the outer perimeter, their spiritual energy rapidly recovered, naturally increasing their speed.

"call!"

With a soft cry, the two leaped into the air and escaped from the dark, strange beast's body.

As it grew taller in the wind, spiritual energy surged into the parched earth, instantly nourishing their bodies.

In a short while, Zhao Rui recovered his cultivation and stood up in mid-air.

He looked around and saw only the azure sea and the bright, cloud-covered sky.

Occasionally, a few large birds would fly by, but before they had gone far, they would be sucked into the mouth by a suction force.

Without even thinking, I knew it was this Nine-Aperture Soul-Devouring Beetle that did it.

"Finally out, haha!"

Mo Ling'er steadied herself, looked at Zhao Rui's astonished and curious expression, and a smug smile appeared on her lips.

"Kneel down before me and come here obediently, haha!"

Mo Ling'er made a hand seal, waved to Zhao Rui, and a smug smile appeared on her lips.

What were you going there for?

Zhao Rui looked at her with a curious expression.

"Ok?"

Mo Ling'er was startled and quickly made a hand seal, pointing at Zhao Rui: "I'll make you kneel down!"

"ill!"

A mocking smile appeared on Zhao Rui's lips. With a swift movement, he sped off towards the distant island like a flash of sword light.
