Chapter 257 Netherworld Xuanlujian
In the ancient temple, Chen Yao slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was the ruined scene. The remnants of the dark monarch were nowhere to be found and seemed to have dissipated. Even the statues originally enshrined in the temple were no longer there at this moment. It turned into a pile of wind and sand, which was slightly desolate.
When Chen Yao saw this, he felt a little regretful.
After all, he is well aware of the power of the Dark Lord, possessing terrifying power and related knowledge. A little bit of it flowing out from the cracks of his fingers can make his mouth full of oil, such as the source of darkness this time.
Now, with the initial integration of the source of darkness with him, the soul power in his body has undergone great changes. It is beyond the scope of fragile soul power, and is even different from divine power.
More solid and mysterious.
Chen Yao slowly raised his hand, and a subtle energy surged in his palm.
Suddenly, not only was the energy feedback in the body, but there was also a faint resonance between heaven and earth.
This should be the so-called dark law, manipulated by Chen Yao.
At this moment, Chen Yao even felt as if he could collapse the land with a radius of hundreds of miles with one punch.
However, Chen Yao also knew in his heart that this was a misjudgment of himself after his strength surged.
But no matter what, Chen Yao also took a significant step and embarked on a path that was different from this world and the path to heaven.
It’s even more magnificent than that!
"Hoo!"
Chen Yao exhaled a long breath of white mist like a dragon, with a look of joy in his eyes. This time he came to this far north, he originally just wanted to help Bibi Dong understand the hidden dangers, but he did not expect that there would be such a big gain. The Dark Lord What a good person.
Sighing in his heart, he stood up slowly and was about to leave. Suddenly, he seemed to catch a glimpse of something with his peripheral vision, and his attention was immediately attracted.
The thick pile of wind-sand that was transformed from the previous statue of the god was bulging a little abnormally, as if it was hiding something?
Chen Yao stepped forward, raised his hand, and the wind and sand dispersed. Then, only a palm-sized stone with an uneven surface and a dull color was revealed.
Curiously, he grabbed the stone. When he put it in his hands, he immediately felt at ease, and the energy in his body began to become active involuntarily.
Another good thing left by the Dark Lord?
Chen Yao was pleasantly surprised. Without hesitation, he directly activated the energy and injected it into the dark stone.
"Wow!"
A buzzing sound sounded, and the dark stone suddenly exploded like smoke, turning into countless crystal grains and spilling into the air. Then, under Chen Yao's eyes, it began to reorganize and build.
It actually turned into a large and thick book, floating in front of Chen Yao.
When Chen Yao saw this, he was confused for a moment, then curiously opened the pages of the book.
What comes into view are rows of densely packed small symbols.
Chen Yao had never seen such symbols in his previous life, but after a brief moment of confusion, those symbols suddenly began to glow with a faint black light.
At the same time, Chen Yao's eyes were also filled with a dark light.
Then, the obscure symbols in the book suddenly appeared clearly in his mind, and the meaning between the lines gradually became clear and was absorbed and understood by Chen Yao.
After understanding its meaning, Chen Yao's eyes suddenly lit up.
This turned out to be a technique called "Netherworld Xuanlujian".
It was extremely clever and profound. Even if Chen Yao knew the meaning of those symbols, the symbols would be incomprehensible when connected one by one.
But Chen Yao just silently recited the symbols and spells in his heart, and he actually felt a restlessness in the energy in his body, which even faintly intensified the resonance between Chen Yao and the dark law between heaven and earth, highlighting the extraordinary power of this spell. place.
It is completely incomparable to the Xuantian Technique inherited from Tang San.
The Dark Lord has so many good things. She was about to leave, but she actually left him such a surprise.
However, Chen Yao also guessed that this should be the technique practiced by the Dark Lord himself, and it could even resonate with the source of darkness. Otherwise, she would not have been so eager to refine the source of darkness in the first place.
But it was a pity that she could not take away the source of darkness in the end. Maybe it was a pity for this source of darkness, so she left this technique behind before leaving.
But no matter what the truth is, these benefits have been eaten up by Chen Yao.
At this moment, he was staring at the black book in front of him with very fiery eyes, but he did not practice immediately. Instead, he strengthened his mind, scattered the black book, and turned it into the black stone again.
This is not a good place to practice. Besides, Liu Erlong and others are still waiting for him outside. He should wait until he gets back to talk about everything.
Put away the black stone, step out of this temple that has completely lost all its strangeness, stand in the white world, tap your toes on the ground.
"Bang!"
His body suddenly stabbed out like a sharp arrow, and a series of air blasts sounded violently behind him.
Nowadays, the transformation of his soul power and even mental power has brought about improvements in all aspects. Naturally, his speed cannot be compared with the same. The violent movement can't even be endured by the space, causing the place where he passed. , the space is collapsing layer by layer.
Chen Yao actually arrived at the original place of fighting, which was hundreds of miles away from the temple, in less than half an hour.
By this time, the fighting here had already ended.
The pungent smell of blood in the air was strong and lingering, and the lower part was already stained crimson with blood. Broken limbs and broken arms could be seen everywhere. It was like a cruel purgatory.
However, facing such an intrusive scene, Chen Yao's heart remained unmoved. He stood tall in the sky and swept his gaze around. He soon found traces of Liu Erlong and his party in an iceberg col.
They had already finished their respective battles and were gathering together, sitting cross-legged in meditation to restore their physical strength and soul. At the same time, they were also waiting for Chen Yao to return.
However, after Chen Yao saw this, he did not immediately go down to find them. Instead, he stared at this tragic battlefield. As soon as his mind moved, a dense and persistent darkness suddenly manifested under his feet, spreading and spreading. The entire battlefield was shrouded in it and instantly turned into a ghost.
And on top of those countless corpses with tragic deaths, groups of invisible and transparent souls emerged one after another. They leaped in the air, appearing very crowded, and their denseness made people's hearts tremble.
At this moment, Chen Yao was using his third soul skill, which was also a domain soul skill, the soul-eating domain.
But what is surprising is that when he released his soul skill at this moment, there was no soul ring appearing behind him.
This means that Chen Yao now has a preliminary way to release his own power without relying on soul rings. At the same time, Chen Yao also understood that these soul rings were similar to soul bones, an invisible shackles that would eventually be abandoned.
But fortunately, most of Chen Yao's martial souls are condensed by black zhe. Under the influence of the dark martial souls, they are all soul skills evolved from his own energy. Even if the soul ring is abolished, his strength will not be the same. No matter how affected he is, his soul skills can still be released as usual.
But Chen Yao hasn't done this yet. He has just refined the source of darkness and controlled a new power. He must adapt to it first. After taking full control, he will no longer keep these soul rings.
With a wave of his hand, adhering to the principle of not wasting a grain of food, Chen Yao absorbed these remaining souls in the world into the soul-devouring realm, and then his body swept away and appeared in the mountain col that Liu Erlong and others had repaired. middle.
"Chen Yao!"
The movement of the coming person immediately attracted the attention of several people. After opening his eyes and seeing the familiar figure, Liu Erlong suddenly cried out in surprise, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Although she had great confidence in Chen Yao's strength, the strangeness shown in the depths of the ice gorge had left Liu Erlong with lingering fears, fearing that something unexpected would happen.
But when she saw Chen Yao coming back, she finally let go of her anxious heart.
Chen Yao nodded, then pointed to the battlefield outside and asked.
"Are all the coalition forces dead?"
Liu Erlong shook his head.
"No, but most of them were gone. Only some were frightened and fled away."
Chen Yao nodded slightly.
"That's good, otherwise it would be a bit self-defeating if we all die here."
After he finished speaking, Chen Yao didn't bother to pay attention to the fate of those coalition soul masters anymore.
They are all trivial matters. His entire attention is now focused on the "Netherworld Xuanlujian", and other things will be put behind him.
"Now that the matter has been successfully resolved, let's go back quickly."
Chen Yao said that the other people would naturally have no objections. The main reason why they stayed here was still waiting for Chen Yao.
"Whoosh!"
Several figures swept out and disappeared into the vast white snow.
After leaving the northern border, Chen Yao parted ways with a few people and headed towards the Wuhun Palace.
Arriving at Wuhun City, Chen Yao landed from the sky above the Pope's Palace in a very high-profile manner. He didn't have time to think too much and directly opened the door of the Pope's Palace. He immediately saw Bibi Dong's figure, leaning on the desk of the chief executive. , there was still a bit of astonishment in the gaze he cast.
Although it is a bit presumptuous, fortunately Bibi Dong did not hold any meetings at the moment. Otherwise, if Chen Yao barged in like this, there would have been some commotion. After all, even though Bibi Dong's relationship with Chen Yao is now well known to passers-by, You also need to maintain some etiquette on the surface.
But Chen Yao was too lazy to think about it at this moment. He came to Bibi Dong in a flash and said.
"I will be in seclusion for a period of time, and then you need to take action on your own plan. If you don't have enough manpower, go to Liuyuecao Academy to find Ah Yin and the others. Although they may be a little hostile to you, they will still take the overall situation into consideration and help. ”
Hearing this, Bibi Dong came to her senses, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said in a faint voice.
"You don't seem to have the temperament to practice in retreat. Why did you just finish the retreat some time ago and now you are starting to retreat again?"
But as if something suddenly occurred to her, Bibi Dong's conversation changed again.
"You are not normal. Did you encounter something in the North?"
Except for the more complicated matters such as the Dark Lord and the Source of Darkness, Chen Yao simply explained the rest.
"You destroyed the soul bone and soul skills?!"
After hearing Chen Yao's words, Bibi Dong was so shocked that she immediately stood up.
Then she quickly stretched out her hands and pawed at Chen Yao's body, as if checking whether he had any injuries.
"Okay, why did you only listen to this? Didn't I say that I have taken a different path from that of a soul master? I have gotten rid of the shackles of the soul bone and soul ring, which is a good thing."
Chen Yao helplessly pushed Bibi Dong, who was a little excited at the moment, back onto the Pope's chair.
"Is everything okay?"
Bibi Dong still felt a little unbelievable and half-convinced.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yao simply activated the energy in his body. Suddenly, the dark energy, as turbulent as the vast ocean, burst out and filled the entire papal palace.
Bibi Dong instantly felt a suffocating pressure, her brows furrowed and her face flushed, as if she couldn't hold on.
Upon seeing this, Chen Yao immediately collected the permeating energy, and the atmosphere in the Pope's Palace became relaxed again.
Bibi Dong took a few deep breaths, then stared at Chen Yaodao.
"You've become stronger again."
She is now a level 98 Titled Douluo, only one step away from the peak. Even the Divine Examination is only the last two levels left. She is one step away from being the god that all the strong men in the entire Douluo Continent dream of. The realm is already extremely close.
But even so, she was as powerless as a child when facing the aura Chen Yao released just now. This made her feel a little frustrated, but soon, her attention was focused on Chen Yao again.
As his eyes swept up and down, he said in surprise.
"It's incredible. You actually stripped off your soul ring and you haven't been affected at all. If what you said just now is leaked, it might cause a sensation in the entire continent. Everyone is interested in high-quality soul rings. Bones and soul rings are flocking to you, but when it comes to you, they become a danger and are discarded like worn-out shoes.”
"Since it is harmful and useless, then we have to give it up, right?"
Chen Yao smiled lightly.
Bibi Dong nodded, her eyes flashing with thoughts from time to time. Now that she learned from Chen Yao that the soul rings and soul bones are actually shackles that restrict herself, does she have to make some changes?
"If you want to learn from me, you must be careful. My situation is special. Even if I give up these things, it will not have a big impact on my strength. But you are different. I suggest you try it first without using the soul ring. Release Soul skills, starting from the first soul skill, after you gradually get rid of the soul ring, you will almost be able to step into the category of god level. By then, your life essence will be improved and you will not be as fragile as humans. It’s never too late to try boldly.”
When Bibi Dong heard this, she also felt that it made sense. At this moment, a big event was about to happen, but it was not appropriate for her to do something that would harm her own strength.
