Emperor Wu Shihuang's handwriting, do not go out of the Milky Way border

Ying Zheng chuckled in response to their words.

Finally, he said, "Alright. Let's team up, take care of that monster, and then go back to heal our wounds!"

After entering through the main gate, with the help of the light from the five-colored stones, Ying Zheng and his men could clearly see that the ground of the temple was covered with white bones.

However, these skeletons were mostly from various wild creatures! There were very few human-shaped skeletons.

Stepping on these white bones, Ying Zheng and his men went up the stairs to the second floor, where they found many large vats and rotten wooden barrels.

These wooden barrels have been sitting here for who knows how long; the planks have long been eroded by the relentless passage of time, and each one is riddled with holes.

The arrival of Ying Zheng and his entourage stirred up the air inside the room, and the wooden barrels shattered one after another, raising clouds of dust.

Ying Zheng held the Vajra Spear that broke through the enemy lines, and the spear flashed, sweeping away the dust in the air.

"Ying Zheng, look inside those large vats!" the Supreme Being of Hongdu reminded him.

Ying Zheng's gaze then fell upon those large vats.

The large vat was filled with pitch-black liquid.

"What are these?" Ying Zheng frowned slightly.

He reached down and picked up a stick from the ground, then used it to poke into the liquid and gently lifted it up.

At this moment, an unbelievable scene unfolded: the black liquid that had been stirred up turned into a large amount of black gas the instant it left the surface!
These black wisps seem to be exactly the same as those on the zombies!
"What exactly is this thing?" Emperor Wuxuan couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know," Ying Zheng replied.

He held the wooden stick and casually flicked it, causing all the black energy on the stick to fly away.

However, after the black smoke was flung away, it did not dissipate like smoke, but instead returned to the large vat in wisps and strands.

Moreover, seemingly due to Ying Zheng's actions, the black liquid in the large vats began to churn. Immediately afterwards, a figure climbed out from one of the vats.

Not just this one, but from seven or eight other large vats around it, figures shrouded in black mist crawled out.

"Watch out!" Ying Zheng shouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, the figures that crawled out of the large vat pounced on Ying Zheng and his men like ghosts.

These figures are incredibly fast!

Fortunately, Hongdu Supreme and the others have now reached the third level of the universe level, greatly increasing their strength.

Faced with these rushing figures, they quickly used their weapons to block them.

"Drink!" Ying Zheng shouted, wielding the Vajra Spear in his hand, its light flashing, and thrusting the spear straight at the monster's face, piercing through its head!
After being pierced by the Vajra Spear that broke through the formation, the trembling black mist solidified and turned into pieces that fell to the ground.

The monster that crawled out collapsed on the spot and remained motionless.

After applying the medicine, Ying Zheng shot them one by one!
Hongdu Supreme and his group quickly dealt with the enemy.

These seven or eight monsters were all wiped out by Ying Zheng and his men in just over ten breaths.

"Just like the zombies in the swamp!" said Emperor Wuxuan.

"Yes." Ying Zheng nodded.

These zombies are indeed very difficult to deal with.

Hongdu Supreme and his group were equipped with excellent gear, and their weapons were coated with expensive potions, which is why they were able to kill these zombies so easily.

Without the excellent equipment and special potions for dealing with ghosts from Emerald City, even if they had broken through to the third level of the cosmic level, it would have been no easy task to deal with these zombies.

"The source of these zombies in the swamp is indeed here," said Supreme Hongdu after eliminating the seven or eight figures.

As he spoke, Emperor Wuxuan bent down and picked up a ball of light emitting a blue glow, which was clearly a divine artifact dropped by the zombie.

Artifacts dropped by wild creatures are random.

However, the stronger the wild creature, the greater the chance of it dropping a divine artifact, and the higher its quality.

Previously, when Ying Zheng and his group were hunting zombies in the swamp, they had also obtained several divine artifacts, all of which were of the white porcelain grade.

Apart from the zombies in the large vat, there seem to be no other enemies on this floor.

Ying Zheng and his companions then continued upwards along the stairs.

A chilling aura emanated from the stairwell on the third floor, making Ying Zheng and his companions feel as if they were facing a frigid ice cave.

As they climbed the steps, the chilling atmosphere grew stronger, making it almost impossible to move, as if their limbs were frozen by the cold.

"Hmph!" Ying Zheng snorted heavily. He gripped the Vajra Spear that broke the formation and walked at the front. A chilling aura surged towards him like a tide, but it could not stop him in the slightest.

A chilling killing intent and domineering aura emanated from Ying Zheng.

That invincible belief sustained him, making him as steadfast and fearless as Mount Tai.

Behind Ying Zheng, the Supreme Lord of Hongdu and his group showed no fear whatsoever.

In the primordial universe, they are all eternal beings who reign supreme over the pinnacle of their respective universes.

They have cultivated for hundreds of billions of years and have experienced countless tribulations. How could this bit of cold and ominous feeling make them afraid?
They climbed up to the third floor in one go. It was much more spacious than the first and second floors.

In this spacious hall, there were finally items that fit the atmosphere of the temple.

A huge statue stands there.

The multicolored stones in Ying Zheng's hands emitted a dazzling array of colors, illuminating the silent hall and the statues.

The statue is about ten meters tall, almost level with the ceiling.

It looks very ordinary, except that the statue is covered with a large number of strange rune patterns.

Before the statue, a figure stood motionless like a wooden puppet.

Looking at the figures before the statue, Ying Zheng and the others' gazes sharpened slightly.

“Found it,” Ying Zheng said.

As he spoke, he raised the Vajra Spear in his hand, aiming the tip at the figure. Meanwhile, the three of them, including Hongdu Supreme, flanked the figure from the left and right, completely blocking its escape route.

“You have nowhere to escape,” Ying Zheng said.

However, at that moment, a crisp sound rang out, and the figure suddenly raised his head. A strong gust of cold wind blew his long hair away, revealing an extremely ferocious and terrifying face.

The face was covered in rotten flesh, making it look exactly like a skull!

"You have nowhere to escape!" A hoarse and terrifying scream rang out, and in an instant, ghostly figures flickered throughout the hall, and a large number of ghosts emerged from nowhere!
Immediately afterwards, these ghostly figures rushed towards Ying Zheng and his companions.

"Kill!!" At the critical moment, Ying Zheng roared. The Supreme Lord of Hongdu and the others also shouted in unison.

In an instant, the four men were filled with murderous intent, their weapons flashing wildly as they engaged in a fierce battle with the ghostly figures.

A cold glint appeared, and a sharp aura returned stained with blood.

Amidst the steady breathing of Ying Zheng and the others, the wildly dancing ghostly figures were quickly slain.

The weapons coated with the blood potion of the Nether Beasts were exceptionally effective against these ghosts, eliminating one with each strike.

After all the ghosts were dealt with, only this last zombie monster remained.

Ying Zheng took the lead, thrusting out his Vajra Spear with all his might.

The zombie monster let out a deafening roar, its arms as hard as iron, actually clashing head-on with the Vajra Spear that broke through the formation. However, in the first ten moves, it could still barely hold its own against Ying Zheng. After another ten moves, it showed signs of defeat. In the final ten moves, the spear in Ying Zheng's hand had pierced through its bones.

"You are indeed a bit stronger than the other zombies, but that's all," Ying Zheng said casually, holding his spear.

Then, he pulled out the spearhead, and the monster struggled, staring at Ying Zheng with eyes full of hatred and resentment, before finally collapsing powerlessly.

"I...hate you...you turned me into a monster...I..." The mournful voice echoed, but before it could finish speaking, it died.

A surge of pure energy flowed into Ying Zheng's body and was quickly absorbed by him.

"Dead?" Supreme Lord Hongdu looked at the monster and couldn't help but say.

"They died way too easily!" Emperor Wuxuan echoed.

"This person must also be from Dashi Town, right? Judging from his appearance, it feels like Dashi Town did a lot of outrageous things in the past," Xuanjian God Venerable said bluntly.

He has a straightforward personality and never beats around the bush.

“Yes, nobody knows why they built such a huge temple here,” said Emperor Wuxuan.

“If I’m not mistaken, they are trying to create a god,” Ying Zheng said.

"Creating a god?!" Wu Xuan Emperor and the others were stunned upon hearing this.

In the Canglan Fantasy Realm, there are no true gods. Or rather, everyone can be considered a god!
In the outside world, each of them is an unparalleled deity who rules over a region.

However, within the illusory realm, suppressed by the rules, no one can become a god. Even those ancient saints above the sixth level of the universe are reduced to mortals by the rules.

"Everything in this world is born from rules. They are trying to materialize certain rules into human beings, artificially creating gods. In short, they are using special means to exploit loopholes in the rules," Ying Zheng explained.

"What?! Exploiting loopholes in the rules?! Is that even possible?!" Wu Xuan Emperor and the others were astonished.

This matter shocked them even more than the creation of a god.

"There are indeed some ways to exploit loopholes in the rules," Ying Zheng nodded in confirmation.

"While I cannot be entirely certain, it is clear that the people of Dashi Town have indeed accomplished this."

"They paid a price to successfully integrate certain rules with humans and create artificial gods."

As Ying Zheng spoke, he pointed to the corpse lying on the ground.

"If I'm not mistaken, Dashi Town was able to escape that disaster entirely because of him."

"What a pity," Ying Zheng sighed.

"What's a pity?" Supreme Lord Hongdu asked subconsciously.

“He is courting death,” Ying Zheng replied.

Upon hearing this, Hongdu Supreme and the others were stunned.

But then, they also showed a thoughtful expression.

Indeed, if he hadn't deliberately sought death, why would he have bothered looking for them? If he had simply hidden himself away, they wouldn't have been able to find him at all.

Even while they are hunting zombies, he can take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack or command the zombies to swarm him.

But he didn't do that; instead, he let them kill all the zombies in the swamp area.

"Was he seeking liberation?" asked Emperor Wuxuan.

"Maybe so, but only he knows for sure," Ying Zheng said helplessly.

"Look!" Xuanjian God suddenly shouted.

Following his gaze, Ying Zheng looked at the corpse again, and saw a red light rise from the corpse, transforming into a red sphere of light.

"A divine artifact has appeared!" Supreme Lord Hongdu's face lit up with joy.

"A divine artifact of the Red Jade grade?!" Ying Zheng was also overjoyed.

He reached out and picked up the ball of light from the ground, examined it closely, and then revealed a strange expression.

“This is not a divine artifact,” Ying Zheng said.

"Not a divine artifact?" Supreme Hongdu and the others looked puzzled.

Artifacts have always appeared in this way.

They received the orb of light from Ying Zheng, and after looking at it, they all showed expressions of surprise.

This red orb of light is actually a spell!
Name: Corpse Soul Transformation! (Spell)
Corpse Soul Transformation: This spell grants temporary immunity to death, impaired sensation of pain and loss of feeling, and immense strength!

“This is absolutely a treasure!” said Emperor Wuxuan.

"Mmm-hmm." Supreme Lord Hongdu nodded in agreement.

Although outside cultivators can go out to heal their wounds, if they die here, they will completely dissipate, and all their cultivation achievements will turn into pure energy and dissipate into the world.

This item is clearly an excellent means of saving one's life.

When a user is on the verge of death, they can immediately become immune to death and even kill their enemies.

After that, you only need to leave this realm and go out to heal your wounds.

Therefore, the value of this spell is self-evident.

"Ying Zheng, you should learn this spell. That way, even if something unexpected happens, you'll have a chance to salvage the situation," the Supreme Lord Hongdu said to Ying Zheng.

“You are now our most important trump card in the Hongmeng Universe. As long as you are here, our Hongmeng Universe will eventually become a dominant force in the Canglan Universe. But if we lose you, with our strength alone, we will probably perish sooner or later in this Canglan Illusionary Realm.”

“I think so too,” Emperor Wuxuan echoed.

Faced with the words of Hongdu Supreme and others, Ying Zheng could not refuse and finally accepted the spellbook with a wry smile.

This thing is indeed very good, and even he does need it.

After dealing with the monster, Ying Zheng and the others thoroughly searched the temple. Once they confirmed that there was nothing else, they turned and left.

At the entrance of the temple, Immortal Venerable Hongluo and the others were waiting anxiously.

When they finally saw Ying Zheng and the others push open the door and come out again, their faces lit up with ecstasy.

"How is the situation?" Immortal Venerable Hongluo asked Ying Zheng and the others.

"It's all taken care of," Ying Zheng replied with a smile.

call!
The people waiting outside all breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, Ying Zheng recounted the situation inside the temple to the Great Powerful Saint and others.

"I see." After hearing this, the Great Vajra Deity and the others nodded as if they understood.

After defeating the monsters in the temple, Ying Zheng and his entourage returned to Hongmeng Town.

Upon returning to town, Ying Zheng made a special trip to visit the old clan chief.

He took out an old belt and handed it to the old clan chief.

Looking at the belt, the old patriarch's expression was complicated. "Thank you," he said to Ying Zheng, "thank you for freeing them."

"It was just something I did on the spur of the moment," Ying Zheng said modestly.

Ying Zheng guessed that the last monster was probably one of the old patriarch's relatives.

But he did not delve into who it was, because it was no longer necessary.

After being poisoned in the temple, Ying Zheng returned to Hongmeng Town and left with Emperor Wuxuan and others.

After returning, they went into seclusion to refine the toxins in their bodies.
