I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 643: One Chasing and One Escape, Magical Means (4k, please subscribe)

This magical power is the innate magical power that was awakened after the Sky-Splitting Eagle's bloodline broke through to become a "pure-blooded descendant" - [Red Spirit Wings].

[Red Spirit Wings] is a space escape technique, so even if Sky-Splitting Eagle is only a fourth-rank demon king, it can still participate in this life-and-death battle at the level of incarnation.

However, although he watched helplessly as the Sky-Splitting Eagle snatched away his spiritual treasure, the "God-Breaking Nail", Ding Lezheng did not hesitate for a moment. He continued to use the remaining strength of his Blood Escape to escape to the sky above the Zhaoming Dead Sea.

Ice dragon magic!
As soon as he came out of the Zhaoming Dead Sea, Ding Lezheng's consciousness was no longer restricted. He suddenly felt the vastness of the world. He made a hand gesture with one hand, and used the method of transforming his spirit to pry the five elements of heaven and earth to perform this high-level spell.

In an instant, a cold wind howled between heaven and earth, and a giant ice dragon hundreds of feet in size appeared in the air. It roared, and rushed towards the sea with biting frost. Its target was Wei Tu who was chasing after it from the sea.

But at this moment, Ding Lezheng did not dare to continue fighting. He made a prompt decision and blew up the remaining body on the spot. His Nascent Soul form directly left his body and fled towards Shengya Mountain at an extremely fast speed.

Advanced spell—Ice Dragon Spell!

The power of the divine body's self-destruction!

Wei Tu, who emerged from the sea, immediately encountered this powerful resistance. The former only made him retreat, but the latter caused him considerable injuries.

Half of his shoulder was cut off by the terrifying power of the self-explosion of his divine body.

But fortunately, he is not a pure immortal cultivator like Ding Lezheng, but a body cultivator with a fourth-level physical body.

As the golden light of his "spiritual body" emerged, his injuries disappeared in an instant and he returned to his perfect body.

"Nascent Soul Out of Body?"

After a while, when the smoke cleared, Wei Tu saw Ding Lezheng who used self-explosion to cover up his escape direction.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that this guy was worthy of being the number one righteous man, and his actions were worthy of the word "decisive".

When a Nascent Soul cultivator's Nascent Soul leaves the body, if he is properly prepared and without the "drag" of a Dharma body, his escape speed, even if he is in the early Nascent Soul stage, is comparable to the normal escape speed of a peak Nascent Soul middle stage cultivator.

The same is true for the Spiritual Transformation Realm.

Ding Lezheng's current escape speed has reached the "mid-stage of Spirit Transformation" level, and he cannot catch up with him immediately.

"But even if you escape, where can you escape to?"

Wei Tu sneered, he stretched out his hand and the Sky-Splitting Eagle flapped its wings and took off from the sea. Countless tiny blood-red threads flew out of the eagle's body and were tightly "embedded" into his spine. At this moment, its green wings seemed as if they were born with him.

This is exactly the result of him using the "Blood Puppet Technique" to control the Sky-Splitting Eagle, his "spiritual pet"!

With the help of Blood Puppetry and Soul Contract, he can control every move of the Sky-Splitting Eagle, including the eagle's innate magical powers.

sieve! sieve!
Next, Wei Tu locked onto Ding Lezheng's escape direction from afar. He flapped his wings, performed the "Ten Thousand Crows Blood Escape", and used the Sky-Splitting Eagle's [Red Spirit Wings] to chase and kill the beast.

With the combination of the two escape techniques, his escape speed increased significantly, which was visibly improved. Although it was still not as fast as Ding Lezheng's "Nascent Soul Out of the Body", it was not far behind.

Moreover, his physical body is still there, and his magic power is "infinite". In the long run, time is on his side.

The "Nascent Soul Spirit Body" that has been separated from the Dharma Body, even if it has the Dharma form to plunder the vitality of heaven and earth, is almost equivalent to "water without a source" due to the rapid consumption of magic power.

……

"That is……"

Jinglian Temple, Liaozhou, Xiao State.

Inside the Buddhist temple, a woman in a white monk's robe was sitting on a cushion meditating and worshiping Buddha. After sensing the terrifying pressure coming from the Zhaoming Dead Sea, she subconsciously looked up into the sky.

The moment she raised her head, the white veil she was wearing fluttered quietly, revealing eyes as clear as the moonlight, a face as beautiful as a fairy, and cherry lips as beautiful as red clouds.

I saw a huge blood cloud appearing in the sky above Liaozhou, chasing after a Nascent Soul spirit in the distance.

Upon closer inspection, this blood cloud was composed of countless blood-colored crows, but in an instant, it vaguely transformed into a young man wearing a green robe and with wings on his back.

Regardless of whether it was this "Nascent Soul Spirit" or this young man, both of them exuded terrifying fluctuations of magical power, as if they could kill a Nascent Soul cultivator like her with just a wave of their hands.

"Is that Wei Tu?"

Fu Linglong raised her eyebrows slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on her pretty face.

It was difficult for ordinary people to determine the specific identity of the man in green robe from his aura, but she was different. She had had several confrontations and physical intimacy with Wei Tu, and Wei Tu's aura had long been imprinted in her body.

She could forget anyone, but she could not forget Wei Tu.

But, Wei Tu’s strength has now grown to a level that she can’t even reach?
How can this be?

It was clear that the time when she broke through to the Nascent Soul stage was only a hundred years later than Wei Tu.

"If this is Wei Tu, then the Nascent Soul spirit that is escaping could be... Ding Lezheng..."

Fu Linglong widened her beautiful eyes, with a hint of speculation in her mind.

The imprisonment of Wei Xiuwen and others in Shengya Mountain was a top secret among the middle and lower level cultivators of Yingding Tribe, but it was not a secret in the Nascent Soul circle near Xiao and Kang countries.

More than two hundred years ago, she had thought of her "old friendship" with Wei Tu and wanted to secretly help the Wei family once. However, Shengya Mountain was too huge for her. After trying a few times, she was forced to give up the idea.

Now, Wei Tu, who has reached the state of incarnation as a god, is actually hunting down Ding Lezheng personally, and is about to attack the gate of Shengya Mountain?
"not my business……"

Fu Linglong shook her head, lowered her eyes, and covered her face with a white veil again. After a while, as the chanting sounded, she gradually gained more holy aura, and the Buddha's light in her dantian bloomed and shone brightly.

What happened in the past was just a mistake she made more than three hundred years ago, a mistake she made as a Buddhist woman.

Just one night of fun...

How much emotion can there be between them?
"But after all, he took my body and now he's rich and powerful? Shouldn't he give me some compensation?"

"Now that he is attacking Shengya Mountain, he has a good chance of winning... This is my chance to take advantage of it."

After beating the wooden fish for a long time, although the Buddha's light on Fu Linglong's body was no less, her holy face had a rare girlish look, and she hummed a few times in dissatisfaction.

Immediately, a hint of the greedy nature of a robber from the Six Desires Sect hundreds of years ago appeared on her face.

Thinking of this, Fu Linglong did not hesitate and directly called her brother "Fu Dalu", covered her head and face, secretly sneaked out of Jinglian Temple, and flew to Haizhou where Shengya Mountain was located.

……

Like Fu Linglong, there were many Nascent Soul cultivators from the Xiao Kingdom who sensed the terrifying aura of Wei Tu and Ding Lezheng, who were chasing each other.

Although these people could not use this energy to determine Wei Tu's identity, they could still guess something about Ding Lezheng's identity.

After all, in the Da Cang immortal cultivation world, Ding Lezheng was the only one who had achieved the state of godhood and held the godhood ceremony.

Now, Wei Tu and Ding Lezheng are chasing each other, and their target direction is Shengya Mountain. This is undoubtedly another strong evidence to prove Ding Lezheng's identity.

Therefore, no matter whether they were there to watch the battle for fun or to take advantage of the situation, these Nascent Soul cultivators, like Fu Linglong, flew out one by one and secretly gathered in the direction of Shengya Mountain.

However, due to the difference in their escape speed, when they were about to fly and catch up with Wei Tu and Ding Lezheng, they were already far behind by Wei Tu and Ding Lezheng, and it was difficult to even see the slightest trace of them.

……

Wei Tu was naturally aware of the tail behind him, but he didn't care about it. There was a huge gap between the Incarnation and the Nascent Soul, and dealing with these "flies" was just a piece of cake. What he really had to worry about now was...

——Stop Ding Lezheng from escaping into Shengya Mountain, and then use the Shengya Mountain's super long-distance teleportation array to teleport away.

Now, Ding Le is fleeing towards Shengya Mountain, and the purpose is most likely what he guessed.

The teleportation range of the ultra-long-distance teleportation array is as far as a million miles, far exceeding the range of his current spiritual awareness.

If his worries come true, then if he wants to deal with Ding Lezheng in the short term, the difficulty will be... probably as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Ding Le, who had lost his body, was escaping, so the threat he posed to him was no longer significant.

After all, with Fu Zhizhou escorting Wei Xiuwen and others into the "Zhaoming Dead Sea", he no longer had any hostages that could be used to threaten him in the Dacang cultivation world.

But...if this beast joins forces with the Great Yan cultivation world's Divine Transformation Master, the danger to him will be greatly increased.

Firstly, it means that there will be a strong person of the same level who knows his detailed information, specific methods and trump cards.

Although the gain or loss of intelligence will not be a fundamental factor affecting victory or defeat, it is definitely a major factor in determining victory or defeat in a life-and-death battle between monks of the same level.

Secondly, it means that the method of going to the "overseas cultivation world" may no longer be a secret that he keeps to himself.

This time, although he did not expose the "secret realm" of Zhaoming Dead Sea to Ding Lezheng, as long as Ding Lezheng escaped, it would not be difficult for him to find the "secret passage" that Jingshui Pavilion and Ningyue Palace had studied for thousands of years by following the map in the future.

Of course, now that he has reached the level of a god, he no longer needs to worry too much about the "secret passage" being leaked.

Otherwise, he would not have deliberately led Ding Lezheng into the Zhaoming Dead Sea.

However, if possible, he still does not want the secrets of the overseas cultivation world to be known to others.

——He didn’t want to share the secret realm of the Royal Palace in the Da Cang cultivation world with other Divine Transformation Venerables.

"Ding Lezheng's speed has slowed down."

After two days and one night of pursuit, Wei Tu finally saw that Ding Lezheng, who had escaped by "Nascent Soul Out of the Body", had begun to lose his magic power and his escape speed had decreased.

Seeing this, he made a prompt decision, snorted coldly, and used the secret magic of the devil to blow up one of his arms, speeding up his escape.

"Go!" When he was about to approach Ding Lezheng, he once again activated the "Xuanling Golden Chain", using this spiritual treasure as a whip, and lashed Ding Lezheng's Nascent Soul body fiercely.

pat!

The sound was like thunder, shaking the heaven and earth.

Wei Tu injected 100% of his magic power into this whip, which was his full-strength attack without using the "Five Elements Demon-Slaying Ring".

However, when the Xuanling Golden Lotus was about to hit, Ding Lezheng's Nascent Soul body was suddenly covered with a layer of light purple flames.

Under the fireworks, Ding Lezheng's escape speed suddenly increased greatly, and he narrowly avoided the fatal blow.

"Burning Dharma?"

Seeing this scene, Wei Tu was slightly surprised, and he had a full understanding of the "cruel and ruthless" nature of Ding Lezheng, the old cultivator.

This kind of cruelty is not only towards others, but also towards oneself.

Dharmakāya, like Nascent Soul, is the foundation of the Divine Transformation cultivator.

Its importance even exceeds that of the Dharma body.

The Dharma body can be re-possessed, but once the Dharma body, which is a spiritual form, is damaged or weakened, it is not so easy to rebuild it.

——The Dharma of Transformation is the "root of heaven and earth" that allows the Transformation of the Spirit to leverage the vitality of heaven and earth and absorb spiritual energy. It is equivalent to the "spiritual root" of the lower-level cultivators.

Belong to the real foundation.

Therefore, once the Dharma image is weakened, the cultivator's qualifications will be greatly reduced and his foundation will be lost.

Originally, Ding Lezheng achieved the state of incarnation by chance, which was considered as a low-level qualification among the incarnations.

Now, after burning the Dharma image, his qualifications will be reduced again and become inferior qualifications, which is equivalent to... in order to save his life, at this moment, he has forcibly destroyed his own path.

Unless there is a heaven-defying opportunity, Ding Lezheng’s current state of transformation into a spirit will be the end of his life.

"We are still half a day away from Shengya Mountain. Old Dog Ding, I want to see how you, who are at the end of your strength, can make it back to Shengya Mountain..."

Wei Tu sneered and took back the Xuanling gold chain. He was not discouraged and continued to hang behind Ding Lezheng, chasing him closely, waiting for Ding Lezheng to reveal a flaw again.

Hearing this, Ding Lezheng, who was on the run, couldn't help but change his expression slightly. With his remaining strength, it would not be difficult to return to Shengya Mountain, but the difficulty lay in how to avoid Wei Tu's pursuit.

One wrong step leads to failure at every step.

This half-day journey will be a matter of life and death for him.

"How despicable! If I had the [Shen Kui Zhou] in my hand, I wouldn't have been forced to this point by Wei Tu today."

Ding Lezheng was secretly resentful.

[Shen Kuizhou] is the quasi-fifth-order flying boat he purchased in the Great Yan cultivation world. When this boat is fully powered, it is difficult for ordinary people in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation to catch up.

However, in order to encircle and suppress Wei Tu, when he signed the "Gentleman's Agreement" with Wei Tu, he had secretly asked his nephew "Wei Zhongliang" to take this boat to the Dayan cultivation world.

"There must be a way!"

"There must be a way!"

"There must be a way!"

While Ding Lezheng was fleeing, he racked his brains to think of a plan to escape.

until--

As he flew past a market town, an idea suddenly occurred to him.

He opened his Nascent Soul's little mouth and sucked, and the formation above the market place was instantly shattered. The flesh and blood of countless cultivators inside instantly melted away, and turned into a long river of essence and blood that was swallowed by his Dharma image.

With the addition of these cultivators' essence and blood, his face took on an abnormal deep red color, and his escape speed increased again, comparable to when his Nascent Soul first left his body.

Although he, a master of the righteous path, usually does not use the methods of the devil, and strictly forbids his disciples to learn them secretly, but when it comes to this life-and-death moment, he does not need to worry about this.

The right path does not mean being pedantic!

Wei Tu, who was falling behind Ding Lezheng, did not show any pity on his face when he saw the market town full of ruins and bones.

As a casual cultivator from the three border countries, he had seen countless tragic scenes like this during the battles between good and evil.

I've become accustomed to this.
