Immortality and Immortality: Liver Experience Begins in the Desert

In the center of the star map, a symbol shining with mysterious light is particularly eye-catching. The symbol looks like a phoenix with its wings spread, or a burning flame.

At this moment, the Soul-Devouring Sword in Jiang Qiong's arms suddenly vibrated violently. The dark blue light on the blade became brighter, resonating with the symbols on the star map.

A beam of light shot out from the blade, pointing directly into the depths of the star map.

Wherever the beam of light passed, the golden lines on the star map began to flow, as if coming alive.

Yun Shu's soft sword also made a clear sound in the sheath, and the phoenix carving on the hilt glowed faintly, echoing the symbols on the star map.

"This star map seems to hide a great secret."

Jiang Qiong stared at the star map, his eyes full of curiosity and vigilance. He tried to touch the star map with his spiritual power, but as soon as he touched it, he felt a strong force rebounding back, which made his arm numb.

Yun Shu walked forward and carefully observed the lines around the star map. She found some tiny words engraved in the lines. The words were in ancient seal script. She read for a long time before she recognized a few words: "This map leads to the core of Tianxu"

"The core of Tianxu?" Jiang Qiong frowned. He had heard in ancient books that the core of Tianxu secret realm concealed shocking secrets and endless opportunities, but also countless terrifying dangers.

Chatted briefly for a while.

The two took a short break.

At this time, Jiang Qiong's knuckles were still oozing blood, and his knuckles were tightly clenched on the hideous blood-red skull pattern on the battle axe.

The chill from the metal handle spread along the palm of his hand, but it could not suppress the burning heat surging in his meridians - that was the remaining stinging pain after being eroded by the Nether Wolf venom.

Yun Shu leaned against the scorched rock wall and wiped the soft sword with his bare hands. The red dragon rune on the sword's spine emitted red light in the frost and mist, instantly evaporating the splashed blood into wisps of green smoke.

The broken pieces of colored glaze under their feet groaned softly on the soles of their boots. Behind them, the humming sound of the falling thunder array was being torn into pieces by the howling gale.

The star map on the distant rock wall suddenly burst into dazzling light, and the golden lines twisted and squirmed like a living thing, casting strange shadows on the ground.

Jiang Qiong's pupils shrank slightly, and the Soul-Devouring Sword at his waist made a low humming sound. The faint blue light emitting from the patterns on the blade echoed with the star map in the distance.

"Let's go and continue to go deeper into the secret realm."

Under Yun Shu's guidance, Jiang Qiong walked forward and saw a door.

After passing through the gate, the scene in front of you suddenly becomes bright, and what comes into view is a dense forest.

The moment you step into the forest, the bone-chilling cold feels like countless steel needles piercing your pores.

The trees frozen by thousand-year-old black ice were dark blue all over, and within the dense ice crystal patterns on the bark were the corpses of monsters of various shapes.

The phosphorescent threads hanging from the branches glowed with an eerie green light, and at the end of each thread hung a beating heart, looming in the cold fog.

Yun Shu's black hair was instantly covered with white frost. She formed a spiritual power shield with her fingertips, but the falling snowflakes corroded fine holes on the surface of the shield.

"This is not formed naturally." Before Jiang Qiong finished speaking, a teeth-grinding sound of bones rubbing against each other came from above her head.

Hundreds of demon monkeys were hanging upside down on the phosphorescent threads, their blood vessels were clearly visible under their dark purple hair, and their scarlet vertical pupils were glowing with bloodthirsty light.

The leading demon monkey had a necklace made of the finger bones of a monk wrapped around his neck, and a broken sword was inlaid with three demon pills. The venom dripping from the tip of the sword corroded the ground and created a deep pit with bubbles rising from it.

"Squeak--" a sharp scream broke the silence, and the group of demon monkeys launched a surprise attack.

Phosphorescent threads turned into chains and flew over, while slime with a sulfur smell fell like raindrops.

Jiang Qiong swept his battle axe across, and wherever the dark blue blade light passed, a piercing scream erupted as the silk threads broke.

Yun Shu tapped her toes lightly, and the soft sword formed nine sword flowers. The moment the ice sword pierced through the chest of the demon monkey, it condensed into ice crystals and blood flowers.

But the number of the demon monkeys was far beyond their imagination, and their successive attacks were like a black wave, gradually drowning the two men.

A demon monkey took cover from its companion's dead body and leaped onto Jiang Qiong's back like a ghost.

The moment the sharp claws pierced through his clothes, Jiang Qiong swung the axe in his backhand, and warm purple blood splattered on his face. The fishy smell was mixed with a strong sense of numbness.

Yun Shu's soft sword was suddenly entangled by three phosphorescent threads. The demon monkey took the opportunity to bite her wrist. The moment the sharp teeth pierced her skin, black and purple venom spread wildly along her blood vessels.

"Be careful!" The Seven Star True Fire in Jiang Qiong's palm surged, and the fire whip wrapped around the demon monkey like a spirit snake. However, the demon monkey actually grinned grimly, and countless tiny poisonous needles flew out of the self-exploding flesh and blood.

Yun Shu flicked her jade fingers, and the talisman turned into a golden shield, barely blocking the poison needle, but her blood surged due to the shock.

At this moment, the ground suddenly shook violently, and the ancient trees a hundred meters away were uprooted like straw.

A deafening roar was heard, and a huge golden shadow tore through the sky.

The Monkey King walked over on fallen trees. His hundred-foot-tall body blocked out the sky and the sun. His muscles beneath his dark golden hair were coiled like a dragon.

The horns on its head were wrapped in purple lightning. With every step it took, spider-web-like cracks appeared on the ground, and magma with a burnt smell oozed out.

The monkeys all prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling and whimpering in fear.

The Monkey King grabbed the thousand-foot-tall ancient tree and waved it with his hand. A hurricane carrying broken wood came like a cannonball.

Jiang Qiong pulled Yun Shu and flew backwards rapidly. Ancient trees brushed past their scalps, and blazing fires and thunder ignited in the furrows plowed on the ground.

Just as Yun Shu was about to cast the talisman, he saw the Monkey King's horns glowing purple. Lightning as thick as a bucket struck down instantly, burning the air into twisted ripples.

Jiang Qiong raised his axe to resist, and his Soul Devouring Sword devoured the lightning frantically, but he was still shocked by the aftermath and bled from all his orifices. Yun Shu took the opportunity to throw out all his talismans, and the lightsaber of "Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Clan Formation" pierced the Monkey King's palm, leaving only a few white marks.

The Monkey King was furious and crushed the lightsaber with his bare hands. The flying sword light cut the surrounding trees into powder. The battle was at a stalemate. Jiang Qiong discovered that every time the Monkey King released lightning, his horns would dim for a moment.

"Yun Shu, prepare your most powerful killing move!" The spiritual energy around Jiang Qiong surged wildly, and the seven true fires condensed into a hundred-meter-long fire lotus, and each lotus petal was surrounded by the aura of destruction.

Yun Shu bit her tongue, and her blood and essence merged into the soft sword. The frosty air spread out with her as the center, and the water vapor within a radius of ten miles condensed into a thousand-foot ice sword.

When the Monkey King once again activated the thunder in the sky, the two rays of light, ice and fire, collided with each other with a loud bang, and the blast generated by the explosion razed the entire forest to the ground.

The Monkey King's huge body struggled in the ice and fire. The smell of burning hair and the crisp sound of condensing ice were intertwined.

It roared unwillingly, and finally fell to the ground with a bang. In the dust it raised, a demon pill with lightning light slowly rose up. Jiang Qiong picked up the demon pill with all her might, but found that the surface of the pill was engraved with ancient spells, which faintly echoed the symbols on the star map.

Following the winding blood trail, the two found the demon monkey's lair. The vines at the entrance of the cave were shining with colorful light, and each leaf was wrapped in crystal dewdrops, which turned into liquid with fruity fragrance the moment they fell to the ground.

The space inside the cave was wider than one could imagine. The stalactites hanging from the dome were actually made of condensed spiritual energy. The amber fruit wine in the central stone jar was glowing with an alluring halo, and every drop seemed to contain the essence of heaven and earth. Jiang Qiong scooped up a ladle of fruit wine, and the aroma of the wine was mixed with rich spiritual energy fluctuations. The moment he took the wine, a scalding force rushed straight to his dantian, and his meridians seemed to be burned by a raging fire, and his bones made a crackling sound like fried beans.

Yun Shu drank the fruit wine, and the poisonous wounds in his body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the red light under his skin, the shadow of a blood phoenix vaguely emerged.

As the effect of the fruit wine took effect, Jiang Qiong's muscles swelled like air, and the blood vessels under his skin bulged like little green snakes.

He practiced the "Blood Prison Body Refining Technique", and the energy in the fruit wine merged madly with his body. His cultivation, which had been stagnant, began to rise madly.

The shadow of the blood phoenix behind Yun Shu became more and more solid, and every tremor of the phoenix feathers caused ripples in the space.

Day after day, the two were immersed in training. Jiang Qiong's skin gradually turned bronze, and the air exploded when he punched. Wherever the wind from his fist passed, the hard rock wall was blasted into a deep pit like tofu.

Yun Shu's swordsmanship became more and more smooth. With a light swing of the soft sword, a corner of the mountain a hundred feet away was cut off, and a layer of ice crystals condensed on the cut.

The moment Jiang Qiong broke through to a new realm, the sounds of dragon roars and tiger howls came from his body. The shadow of a blood-flame bear stepped out of the void, and the entire mountain was shaking as its giant palm slapped.

Yun Shu's blood phoenix shadow attracted the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the phoenix's cry resounded through the clouds. Wherever it passed, the ice and snow melted and all things revived.

The two smiled at each other, and their aura was no longer the same as before.

At this moment, bursts of roars suddenly came from deep in the nest, and cracks appeared on the ground, revealing a strange purple light.

The symbols on the star map flashed wildly in the two people's sea of ​​consciousness. The Soul-Devouring Sword on Jiang Qiong's waist vibrated violently. The light of the blade intertwined with the purple light, projecting an incomplete map in the air.

Yun Shu stared at the map and whispered, "This direction seems to point to the forbidden area at the core of Tianxu."

Suddenly, there were dense footsteps coming from the cave entrance, and dozens of figures appeared outside the vines. The gray-robed man in the lead held a white bone staff, and in the empty eye sockets of the skull inlaid on the staff, green ghost fire was dancing. "Leave the Monkey King's magic pill and fruit wine, and I'll spare your bodies."

The gray-robed man's voice was like the friction of sandpaper. The people behind him took out their magical weapons one after another, and the air was filled with a disgusting stench.

Jiang Qiong clenched his axe, and the dark blue blade light surged three feet: "If you want it, come and get it!"

Yun Shu unsheathed his sword, and the shadow of a red dragon made a clear sound.

"It seems that you are not going to give in!"

Seeing this scene, the gray-robed man snorted coldly, and the skull on the top of the white bone staff in his hand suddenly rose three feet high. The ghostly green fire in his eye sockets "puffed" into a ten-foot-high pillar of fire. Corrupted green mist gushed out from its wide-open mouth and condensed into a three-headed skull dragon in the air.

A sticky black liquid oozed out from the gaps between the bone dragon's scales. Wherever it passed, the trees that were frozen by thousand-year-old black ice melted instantly, and the ground surged like boiling molten iron.

Jiang Qiong madly injected spiritual power into the battle axe, and the bloody skull mark on the axe blade suddenly opened its fangs and swallowed the light around it.

The moment the dark blue blade light collided with the bone dragon, spider-web-like space cracks were torn into the air.

Yun Shu tapped the tip of his toes on the phosphorescent thread, and his whole body shot towards the monk behind the gray-robed man like an arrow.

Her soft sword turned into a red stream of light under the moonlight. Wherever the sword pointed, blood flowers suddenly exploded on the bodies of those haggard-faced monks.

"Be careful! They are corpse puppets!" Before Yun Shu finished her words, the neck of a corpse puppet twisted 180 degrees strangely, and the bone knife in its hand brushed past her ear. The corpse poison dripping from the blade corroded the ground and formed a deep pit with bubbles coming out.

On Jiang Qiong's side, the three skull dragons suddenly entangled with each other, forming a huge bone cage that trapped him in the center.

The corrupted green mist seeped into Jiang Qiong's meridians through the gaps in the battle axe, and Jiang Qiong's skin was instantly covered with blue-black poisonous lines.

The gray-robed man laughed shrilly and slammed the bone staff into the ground heavily: "Tear it into pieces!" The bone cage suddenly contracted, and a fishy and sweet taste surged in Jiang Qiong's throat. She bit her tongue hard and sprayed a mouthful of blood on the Soul-Devouring Knife.

The blade suddenly expanded three feet in size, and the dark blue flame burst out like a mad dragon, blasting a hole in the bone cage.

Yun Shu seized the opportunity and threw out nine talismans to form the "Nine-Star Demon Sealing Formation". The golden light temporarily trapped the remaining corpse puppets.

"Retreat to the Nether Cliff!" Jiang Qiong pulled Yun Shu back quickly, the soles of his boots rubbing against the icy ground, sparks flying.

The gray-robed man waved his staff, and the corpse puppets behind him turned into a black torrent and chased after him relentlessly.

All the phosphorescent threads in the forest suddenly lit up, weaving a huge web of death in the air.

Jiang Qiong swept his battle axe, and at that moment when the dark blue blade light cut through the net, countless beating hearts fell from the silk threads and exploded into poisonous mist on the ground.

When the two retreated to the edge of the cliff, the ice under their feet suddenly groaned as if it could not bear the weight.

In the bottomless darkness below the cliff, the sound of dragging chains could be faintly heard.

The gray-robed man and his corpse puppets surrounded them in a fan shape. The skull on top of the bone staff laughed strangely: "An ancient evil spirit is suppressed under this Nether Cliff. It is not a loss for you to be buried here today!"

Jiang Qiong looked at the bloody spell that appeared at the bottom of the staff of the gray-robed man as he cast a spell, and suddenly remembered that she had seen the same mark on the black-robed man's battle axe.

He whispered to Yun Shu, "There must be a bigger conspiracy behind these people!"

As he spoke, the man in gray robe had summoned a bone dragon that was a hundred feet long. Wherever the dragon's tail swept past, the rocks on the edge of the cliff fell into the abyss.

Yun Shu crushed the last three thunder and fire talismans, and with a huge explosion, the bone dragon's head was blown off.

But suddenly, a dense mass of bone needles flew out from the sleeves of the gray-robed man, each of which carried a tracking green light.

Jiang Qiong swung her battle axe to form a light curtain, but saw Yun Shu suddenly spit out blood. It turned out that several bone needles penetrated her defense and pierced into her left shoulder.

"Yun Shu!" Jiang Qiong's eyes were bloodshot, and the Seven Star True Fire condensed into a huge fireball in his palm.

Seeing this, the man in gray robe commanded all the corpse puppets to launch a general attack.

At the critical moment, Yun Shu struggled to stand up, and the soft sword drew ancient runes in the air. The shadow of a blood phoenix flew out from the tip of the sword, and when its wings spread, it brought up a blood rain all over the sky.

Jiang Qiong took the opportunity to go around to the side of the gray-robed man, and the bloody skull mark on the battle axe frantically devoured the surrounding spiritual energy.

When the gray-robed man made a seal again, Jiang Qiong seized the gap in his magic power and injected all his spiritual power into the battle axe.

The dark blue blade light was like the Milky Way rolling back, creating spider-web-like cracks on the gray-robed man's shield.

Yun Shu's blood phoenix phantom took the opportunity to crash into the crack, and with a "bang", the black shield was completely shattered.

The gray-robed man's face changed drastically, and he wanted to retreat but was blocked by the corpse puppet behind him.

Jiang Qiong and Yun Shu took the opportunity to launch a final attack. Jiang Qiong's battle axe broke the bone staff, and Yun Shu's soft sword pierced the heart of the gray-robed man. (End of this chapter)
