Chapter 965: The Second Royal Family, Taotie Soldiers (4k)

At this point, the three ancient immortals of the royal family sent by "Taichu" to kill Yu Chen have been reduced to one!
With the two qualities of the ancient immortal Fu Ji being destroyed, his life was taken away, and one of the three major battlefields finally came to an end.

Yu Chen took a deep breath and looked around him.

It was a vast and endless chaos, so vast that there was no end in sight.

But... I can't see anything except chaos.

He didn't know much about the so-called "world of heaven and man", but from the few words of Zhulong, he knew that it should at least be a complete world, with heaven and earth, sun and moon, stars, rules, and laws of operation...

It is definitely not like the world he is in now, a chaotic world.

There is only one main reason for this situation.

——hastily.

In fact, although he had broken through to the perfection of the Tao after accepting the inheritance and foundation building from Emperor Fengdu, he was only a step away from reaching the true realm of heaven and man.

But that fine line between them cannot be crossed or broken by any external objects.

That line is called...understanding.

In short, it means that over a long period of time, you will realize what kind of world you want to create.

But it was obvious that Yu Chen had not thought clearly in his haste what his heavenly world should look like.

——He had previously naturally thought that since he had inherited the position of King Fengdu, his world should be the underworld.

But as the Emperor of Fengdu used his life's inheritance to lay the foundation for him, this path was obviously abandoned.

——You said that the emperor had exhausted everything to build a foundation for you, but in the end you broke through to the heavens and became a human being but ended up just repeating what he had done. Then this foundation was built in vain.

If this is true, Yu Chen might as well have chosen the inheritance of Emperor Fengdu directly, saving all the effort and ascending to the position of emperor.

But since he didn't do so, it was even more impossible for him to imitate the underworld to create his own heavenly world.

But the problem was that only a few hours had passed since he had achieved a breakthrough to perfection and established a perfect foundation.

How could he possibly realize what kind of world he wanted to create?

But the arrow is on the string and must be fired.

If you don’t send it to others, it will be gone.

There is no other choice but to go ahead with it.

The result is this, the world is indeed constructed, but... that's all.

This is a world full of chaos, without any other characteristics.

To use a not-so-appropriate metaphor, if the world of celestial beings is a powerful weapon, then Yu Chen is now like a newly formed iron embryo. Although it has infinite possibilities, he does not know which direction it will go for the time being.

All in all, in a sense, his realm of heaven and man is not complete.

Only when he truly understands what kind of world he should create, can he achieve true perfection.

However, this is all for Yu Chen himself.

If it is about the current situation...then it is completely sufficient.

Yu Chen took a deep breath, and the whole world collapsed in an instant, turning into endless chaos and pouring into his body.

Then he raised his head and looked towards the sky in the distance.

In that endless darkness, a terrifying and horrifying aura was constantly surging, making people terrified.

If Yu Chen remembered correctly, that should be the battlefield of Taotie.

He had chosen that gray ball of light at the beginning and has been fighting with it ever since.

"Great, you're still alive."

Yu Chen muttered to himself, turned into a stream of light, and rushed towards the gray light ball.

At the same time, in the endless gray fog, a horrific battle was taking place!

Look, one of them is Taotie. At this moment, he has already revealed his infinitely huge true form, with a human head and a sheep body, his whole body is covered with endless Taotie divine power. The dark red light illuminates the entire sky, and he is ferocious and majestic, like an abyss or a prison!
On the other side was a minion wrapped in steel-like armor, with gray flames burning in his deep eye sockets. He looked extremely calm, yet terrifying.

Even an ordinary Qi cultivator can see it at a glance.

——This is the color of death.

At the same time, endless gray fog was also rising above his armor. Compared with the vast dark red divine power of Taotie, this gray fog seemed light as a feather, but it made Taotie extremely fearful and he dared not get close at all!

Judging from the situation, it is obvious that Taotie is at a disadvantage.

The armored skeleton held a spine-shaped sword in his hand, which seemed to be emotionless like a machine. Every time he swung it, endless gray mist surged up, like a terrifying sword light.

The Taotie, who always accepted everyone, was unable to dodge the gray mist as if he had seen a ghost!

But despite his dodging, the gray mist still followed him like a thorn in his flesh!

In a moment of carelessness, his tail was touched by the gray mist!

In a flash, something strange happened!
——Just looking at the body of the ancient god, it was rotting and withering rapidly, losing its vitality!

What's even more terrifying is that the rot and withering did not stop there, but spread up the Taotie's tail at a terrifying speed that was invisible to the naked eye!
It was as if his entire body was going to completely rot and wither!
Taotie's face looked extremely ugly. A dark red light flashed, and the entire tail was cut off in an instant!

The next moment, the entire tail rotted and withered, turning into ashes!

It is foreseeable that if he had not had the determination to cut off his own arm, his entire body would have turned into ashes by now!
"Damn it... I'm so unlucky... Why did he pick the guy who can restrain me the most..."

As the divine power surged, Taotie's tail was reborn and flew away far away.

——But it was visible to the naked eye that his breath weakened slightly in an instant.

In fact, this has happened thousands of times!

Taotie has been touched by the horrific grey fog countless times, and every time the grey fog would unreasonably corrupt his body. If he had not "cut off his own arm" every time, he would have lost count of how many times he would have died!

"Rotten...rotten...rotten..."

Thanks to the evil iron puppet, the Skeleton Knight spoke without any fluctuations in emotion or tone, just repeating the same whispers.

"Stop us... All will rot... All will rot..."

"Rotten you big head ghost!"

Taotie cursed angrily, and instantly spit out a black hole, shooting towards the other party!

But the black hole only sucked in the gray mist, and then collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye! Everything turned to ashes!

——This thing can not only decay the flesh, but also decay everything, even abstract things like the power of Taotie!

Because of this, Taotie, who was good at devouring, was beaten into a state of no temper. What's more, the opponent was an ancient immortal from the royal family. Even in terms of strength alone, he was much stronger than him. Now he was even more restrained by his characteristics. It was simply... one-sided!
If the opponent's movements were not so flexible, Taotie would not have been able to hold on for so long!

With the annihilation of the black hole, Taotie got a brief respite!
He fled to a distance and stared at the other party!

--decay!
This is the other party's characteristic. Although the specific name is not clear, it is like this from the performance.

Let everything decay.

This is true whether it is the physical body or divine power.

At first, Taotie did not think this thing was so dangerous. He raised his hand and used the method of swallowing. As a result, after the opponent was swallowed into the internal space of his body, the "ashes" that could digest everything rotted together.

If Taotie hadn't quickly spit it out, he would have been dead in the first fight!
And because of this "corrupt" quality, Taotie had no way out at all - neither his own way of devouring nor the way of parasitism he inherited from the ancient immortal Angri, were of any use.

The prerequisite for the art of parasitism is to transfer flesh and blood to the opponent's body, but Taotie's flesh and blood was turned into ashes by the terrifying power of decay before it even got close to the opponent.

It's useless.

Therefore, the great ancient god Taotie could only fight and move around at the same time, how embarrassing!

As he repeatedly cut off his own flesh and blood and regenerated his body, his energy consumption became greater and greater, his breath became weaker and weaker, and his speed dropped drastically!

On the other hand, the armored skeleton was like a perpetual motion machine, constantly swinging its sword and attacking!
Finally, the gray mist that was slashed out earlier had gathered too much.

Suddenly, the shape changed drastically!
As if it had life, it automatically merged together and spread out in an instant, instantly turning into a huge net that covered the sky!
Taotie's expression changed!
——According to his speed and agility, he should have been able to escape from the attack range before the gray fog web was formed. Even if he couldn't avoid it completely, he could still minimize the damage.

But the repeated rebirth of flesh and blood consumed too much of his energy.

The movement was only half a second slower.

It is precisely this half point, on one side is life, and on the other side is... death!

At that moment, the shadow called "death" instantly enveloped Taotie's body and mind!

Looking at the overwhelming net that was covering the sky and the earth, he showed a sense of helplessness that he had never seen before.

——All his methods were of no use to this horrible corrupted gray fog, and all his escape routes were completely blocked.

Ten deaths and no life!

"Damn it... I didn't expect that I would die here today... Gravekeeper... I'm so sorry... I can't help you... You better be more motivated... I can die... but you can't die..."

Taotie laughed miserably and muttered to himself: "Tsk... I have also fallen... According to my previous personality... I would never have been able to follow you to do so many dangerous things... But... I have no choice... Killing ancient immortals... Devouring the royal family... Fighting the Great Source... I have followed you in this life... These few decades have been much more exciting than before... Next life... If there is a next life... I am still willing to follow you..."

As he spoke, his body began to crack, his divine power began to surge, and his devouring path became turbulent, as if it would collapse at any moment!
Then, Taotie raised his head and looked at the armored skeleton in the distance through the gray fog, with a cold and fierce look in his eyes!
"Even if I die... I'll take someone with me..."

——Weaponry!
In the world of Qi cultivators, this is also called... self-destruction!
Although Taotie didn't know whether his self-destruction could really kill the ancient royal immortal, but adhering to the principle that he couldn't die in vain, he didn't care!
Just blow it up!
"Gravekeeper! This is the last thing I can do for you! If you can survive, help me get revenge!!!"

As he spoke, his divine power had surged to a terrifying level and was about to explode!

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

Just at that moment, endless light completely enveloped the entire world!
All the turmoil in Taotie's body was calmed down in an instant!

The trend of self-destruction was also forcibly suppressed!
But Taotie did not feel the slightest bit of joy.

Instead... lost...

His self-destruction failed.

In other words, the last chance of him dying together with his friends was gone.

"Damn it... Does this guy have a second trait... He can't even find someone to take the blame for his death... He's so useless..."

Then, the endless light froze everything.

Taotie's consciousness froze for a moment.

When I woke up, all I saw was a vast and endless chaos.

"Tsk... failed... I'm... dead..."

"But if you die outside this realm... your soul shouldn't be able to survive..."

"This doesn't look like the underworld where graves are kept..."

"Forget it... I'll just die..."

He looked confused, yet somewhat open-minded, and muttered to himself.

"I should have told the gravekeeper earlier... There is another world after death in this world... What a pity..."

"What are you going to tell me?"

Suddenly, an extremely familiar voice sounded in Taotie's ears.

He was startled and turned around, then he saw the smiling young man looking at him.

Taotie was filled with sorrow in an instant!

"You useless grave-keeper!"

"How come you died too?"

"I'm still counting on you to help me get revenge!"

Yu Chen rolled his eyes and glared at him: "Why are you dying? Your name is in the Book of Life and Death. You can't die unless I tell you to!"

At that moment, the sadness on Taotie's face froze instantly!

His brain seemed to have crashed. He was stunned for a few breaths before he murmured, "...What do you mean? I... am not dead yet? You are not dead either? Then... then this is..."

He looked around again, and what he saw was still endless chaos, and... in that chaos, the ancient immortals of the royal family and the armored skeletons who were unable to move!
"The grave keeper... this..."

Yu Chen looked at Taotie and smiled: "I heard everything you said just now."

Taotie: "…Rotten in the stomach!"

"Okay, let it rot in my stomach." Yu Chen rarely argued with Taotie. He turned around and looked at the armored skeleton.

"—but before that, I have a small matter to do."
