Ma Xiaoyu and Yin Xiu were leaning against each other. One of them was holding a three-color ruler, and the other was holding a famous sword to mock the wind. There was no fear on their faces, just calmness.
Because the two of them have put other things behind them, the rise and fall of the world, the rise and fall of Taoism, the ups and downs of Kyushu, and even personal life and death have become no longer important.
What's more, these things are not something they can decide.
Could it be that if an immortal is determined to annex the world's destiny, two mortals can stop him?
"If Taiding really becomes a Golden Immortal, he will take away all the aura of Changbai Mountain. At that time, the dragon veins of Changbai Mountain will completely collapse and disappear."
"My plan will come to nothing then, right?"
Yin Xiu gently squeezed Ma Xiaoyu's palm.
This time, Ma Xiaoyu did not let go of his hand, but gently squeezed it in response to him.
"Then what are you going to do? Give it another try?"
"Of course." Yin Xiu grinned.
So the two let go of their hands and each took out a piece of talisman paper from their pockets.
What Ma Xiaoyu held in his hand was a tube of completely black talisman paper. There were no lines or talisman seals on it. It looked like just a piece of pure black paper, almost blending into the night.
This is the life and death talisman, one of the three talismans bought from Jun Huo Li.
The other two, the Human Emperor Talisman and the Blood Evil Yin Talisman, had been consumed in the battle a long time ago.
The Talisman of Life and Death is a piece of lifeless talisman paper that has gathered the earth energy and human sacrifices of the tribes in the southwest. It has gathered countless disasters.
So much so that even the very sinister Blood Evil Yin Talisman and the rare Human Emperor Talisman can have a rough effect, but no one has heard of where the so-called Life and Death Talisman has been used.
When Ma Xiaoyu took out the talisman and injected it with magic power, her originally slightly white nails were stained with an ominous black color.
Above them, Taiding had defeated Kui Qingshan.
The ghost fairy transformed by the Feng Shui master seemed to be unable to withstand Taiding, the real "master". After a few shocking rounds, he had completely lost his power as a fairy and now looked haggard. , the body is translucent, just like an ordinary wandering ghost.
And Taiding, the king who was not succeeded to the throne by Shang Dynasty, Tang's favorite son, the eldest son from ancient times, the only remaining bloodline of human kings in this world, is growing stronger and stronger.
His eyes changed from dark gold to bright orange gold, and as his body gradually absorbed Kui Qingshan, he became more powerful, with his sleeves fluttering and his long hair flying.
Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu saw all this and could not stop him unless they stopped him.
They just held their breath there, focused their attention, and prepared for the final battle with Taiding.
After almost a clearly perceptible passage of time, Taiding had completely absorbed Kui Qingshan.
At this moment, he integrated the earth soul and the human soul, exuding an eternal kingly aura, as dazzling as the sun.
Ma Xiaoyu was restless, feeling depressed in her chest, as if something was blocking her, and she couldn't breathe.
"Can I help you?" Yin Xiu asked with concern.
Ma Xiaoyu glanced at him and said, "How can I help?"
"Rub it." Yin Xiu stretched out his hand.
"It's better to rub yourself!"
Ma Xiaoyu pushed his hand away, but the tension in her chest had indeed been relieved a lot, and she smiled back.
Tai Ding was at the top, seeing them still talking and laughing, he couldn't help but frown.
But he did not intend to argue with these two people, because God would not argue with ants.
He would only gently stretch out a finger, press it down before the ant had time to scream, or even notice it, crushing the poor, ignorant life.
Just like now, Taiding no longer intends to stay in this space.
He is going to Changbai Mountain to collect the last soul and then ascend.
Taiding stretched out a finger, and water-like ripples appeared in the surrounding void, shaking.
The ground beneath Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu also began to crack, and there was a thin sound of electricity in their ears, like cicadas chirping or running water.
"You have done your best, little bugs in the world."
Taiding's words were cold, and his expression was as solemn as a bronze statue. He pressed a finger toward Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu to mobilize the vast power of heaven and earth.
Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu's eyes widened, and the charms in their hands glowed. In contrast to Taiding's sun-like light, the light in their hands was just fireflies.
However, they believe that as long as they never give up, the light of fireflies can compete with the sun and moon.
At this moment, the rippling space returned to calm, the cracked ground came to life, and the annoying tinnitus was replaced by the grand instrumental sound, which made people feel refreshed and awe-inspiring.
At the same time, they seemed to hear a solemn and heavy sound coming from the mountains. Some kind of ancient vibration was slowly spreading, as if the vision at this moment was going to spread to every corner of the mountains.
In front of Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu, a man appeared in front of Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu, wearing a white robe and a crown. He looked like a man or a woman. His appearance and age could not be clearly seen. He seemed to be very old, yet he looked like a young man.
Her eyebrows and eyes were hazy and fuzzy in the dim light, but they gave people a vague feeling of kindness and peace of mind.
This is the authority of the Changbai Mountains, representing all order, the patron saint of the mountains, and the protector of all things, Taibai Shenjun.
Almost in unison, Ma Xiaoyu and Yin Xiu shouted this title at the same time.
Hearing the voices of the two people, Shenjun Taibai turned his head. On his face, which was like a crown jade, a pair of eyes that were like Tianchi sparkled, emitting a bright and warm light.
At that moment, a familiar but sad feeling flashed through Yin Xiu's heart.
Ma Xiaoyu somehow had the same thoughts in her heart, and her eyes turned red.
The two of them vaguely knew what happened, but neither of them spoke, just silent.
At this time, Taiding was even more surprised than Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu, and even a little scared.
"Shenjun Taibai, has he recovered?"
Taiding stared closely at the scene in front of him and confirmed again that the Heavenly Soul, one of his three souls that was closely related to him, had disappeared.
His heavenly soul once again transformed into Lord Taibai, commanding the mountains.
This god who comes from the mountains and protects the mountains has more power than him, because Shenjun Taibai is a god, not just an immortal.
Three thousand years of dreams came to nothing at this moment. From the source of time and place to this point in the long river of time, the plans of the priests in the ancient times completely failed and went bankrupt. Taibai Shenjun had no intention of taking action. He just looked at Taiding quietly.
And Taiding has no chance to take action, and his power is disappearing visibly.
Just because before this, Taiding was so powerful that even Kui Qingshan, who was a ghost immortal, was not his opponent. It was because he had stolen the power of the Changbai Mountains and replaced the Taibai Divine Lord at a certain moment. .
However, at this time, the Lord Taibai returned, and the mountains were welcoming his return. Naturally, the spiritual energy that Taiding was able to control also disappeared without a trace.
Ma Xiaoyu had borrowed the authority of Lord Taibai before, so she still had some residual feelings about the flow of spiritual energy. She had understood from these visions that Taiding's power was rapidly collapsing.
The aura on Taiding's body was rapidly dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye. It seemed that he was about to fall from the position of an immortal and become a more desolate existence than the banished immortal.
Of course, he himself is the one who can feel this change the most. Whether it is soul or strength, Taiding is inevitably deteriorating.
Of the three souls of heaven, earth, and humans, the heaven soul is the highest existence and is the key to controlling the other two souls.
And after his Heavenly Soul transformed into Lord Taibai again, this meant that Taiding would inevitably fall into a deep sleep again.
Only then did Tai Ding realize that even though he was as smart and knowledgeable as him, he had made a mistake.
That was the fall of Lord Taibai and the beginning of his true recovery.
Originally, Taiding, Yin Xiu and others thought that Lord Taibai was the key to his recovery. As long as Lord Taibai existed, Taiding could be resurrected. Therefore, when Lord Taibai was assassinated by the guardian snake, his rebirth plan was interrupted. .
But in fact, it was because of the fall of Lord Taibai that the Heavenly Soul was released again, and Taiding had the possibility of recovery.
Otherwise, why in the past thousand years, after Taiding's heavenly soul turned into Lord Taibai, and when Lord Taibai's power was at its peak, Taiding showed no sign of waking up?
Instead, it was only later that Taibai Divine Lord's power began to inevitably weaken, and he was finally attacked by the Guardian Snake, and after Ma Xiaoyu used the last ray of his remaining magic power in the Changbai Mountains, Taiding truly woke up.
All causes and effects were reversed, and it was only then that Taiding suddenly realized that the key to his recovery lay in the life and death of Shenjun Taibai.
The resurrection of Lord Taibai completely wiped out his heavenly soul, which meant that the remaining two souls would inevitably disappear and return to their original places.
Taiding can still move and think at this moment, but there is not much time left for him.
From his original position of superiority, he quickly "fallen" to become a human being on the same level as Yin Xiu, and became an ordinary creature on the earth.
“Even if all the mechanisms are exhausted, in the end it’s just fishing for the moon in the water. Everything has turned into a dream and delusion.”
When Taiding muttered to himself, he lost his light and his body fell from the sky to the ground. His expression and temperament looked more and more like a ruined prince.
Taibai Shenjun still stood there, seemingly not even looking at Taiding from the beginning to the end. He was aloof and independent, as if he was not in the same world as the few people present.
"It's all over, Taiding."
Both Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu had put away the talismans. They no longer felt any nervous pressure on their bodies, nor did they feel happy. They just looked calm.
"Is it over?"
Tai Ding sneered, with a cold glint in his eyes.
"It's not over yet? You think that when I lose my Heavenly Soul, everything will be over. Don't forget, you two still have the Dragon Emperor's Son!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wind suddenly rose, and a long bronze sword came out of Taiding's broad sleeves. He gently held it in his hand and stabbed Yin Xiu's face.
Yin Xiu took a step forward, and the Wind-Mocking Sword in his hand made the sound of gears turning, bringing up the sound of the wind. Just when the sword began to tremble, the sword's edge was already facing Taiding.
The two sharp swords met in the air, sparks burst out, and the shiny silver blade of the Wind-Mocking Sword showed a trace of twists and folds, and then returned to its original shape.
Feeling numbness in the tiger's mouth and stiffness in the wrist, Yin Xiu was not depressed.
Just because he and Taiding were in the same world before, but now they seem to be on the same level. There is only a difference between strong and weak, and there is no difference between them.
Opening her mouth and swallowing a mouthful of cold wind, Yin Xiu pushed her wrist on the hilt of the sword. The wind roared on the Wind-Mocking Sword, and translucent ripples visible to the naked eye rippled, like a cold storm, and Yin Xiu's sleeves were also caked with layers. Frost.
You Longjin activated, and the Wind-Mocking Sword spun around in a circle, colliding with the bronze sword in Taiding's hand again.
This time, Yin Xiu did not compete with Taiding for strength. He just turned his wrist and lightly knocked the Wind-Mocking Sword on it. While rebounding with the force of the rebound, he stepped forward and used the Wind-Mocking Sword to The counter-intuitive trajectory was pulled back, the sword was turned around, and the blade was thrust towards Taiding.
Taiding opened his hands and threw the ancient bronze sword to the ground.
The ancient bronze sword shattered, blood spurted from Taiding's chest, and he was penetrated by the Wind-Mocking Sword.
"Why?"
Yin Xiu's eyes widened as he came face to face with the prince from ancient times, noses almost touching.
"No reason."
Taiding smiled, and a wisp of blood seeped out from the corners of his slightly curved mouth, dripping onto the luxurious robe, dyeing it red, as if flowers bloomed in the dark night.
"If you have to ask why, it's that I'm tired of it.
Three thousand years of slumber, three thousand years of darkness, no matter what wishes I have, what ambitions I have, and what kind of iron man I am, it is time for me to be wiped away by the endless darkness and endless loneliness.
I am not a qigong practitioner or an immortal, I am just a prince who died young.
After being trapped in the darkness for so long, no matter how slow I was, I should have understood that everything should be over.
I don't want to sleep for another three thousand years, or longer. I want to see the light and embrace the fire, instead of continuing to be with the darkness. ”
"So, you gave up the fight?" Yin Xiu asked him.
"It's not about giving up, it's about choosing."
Taiding smiled and said, "I have chosen a better path. This is my own choice. It is not the path envisioned by my father and the priests. However, it is my own choice. I am satisfied."
"I see, you chose it yourself, so it won't be too bad." Yin Xiu said calmly.
"By the way, although I will not repent to you and those who died, nor do I regret all this. After all, I am still a stubborn person before death, but can you show your kindness and give me a ride?" Taiding asked he.
"I am extremely happy."
Yin Xiu turned his wrist, Taiding's body made a tearing sound, and the Wind-Mocking Sword penetrated him completely.
The last prince of Shang's eyes widened, his pupils dilated, and he completely turned into a dead person, a dead person with no possibility of recovery.
For Taiding, this long dream is over. (End of chapter)
